Zusammenfassung

An der Zelloberfläche waren unterschiedlich starke Silberreaktionen zwischen den Sinneszellen des Typ I and Typ II zu sehen. Die Zellen des Typ I haben ein größeres Reduktionsvermögen auf die Silberionen und zeigten daher eine stärkere Anfärbung als die des Typ II. Das könnte bedeuten, daß beide Zelltypen zur Ausführung eines gleichen mechanischen Reizes unterschiedliche Receptor-Potentiale bilden.

Summary

Different silver reactions were detected on the hair-bearing surfaces between the type I and type II cells. After treatment with silver nitrate, the surfaces of the type I sensory cells were stained darker than those of the type II cells, indicating that the type I calls have a more effective silver-reducing property than the type If cells. This evidence presumably indicates, that the two types of cells are different in the reduction of a receptor potential for the same mechanical stimulus.
