Zusammenfassung
Die Anatomie der kleinen Gefäße in der Seitenwand der Cochlea bei der Maus wurde mit dem Rasterelektronenmikroskop untersucht. Das Gefäßsystem der Schnecke der Maus zeigt eine ähnliche Architektur wie beim Meerschweinchen und der Ratte. Mehrere dünne Verbindungen wurden zwischen den Gefäßen der Lamina spiralis ossea und der cochlearen Seitenwand an der Schneckenspitze aufgedeckt. Die Spitzenwindung und der untere Abschnitt der ersten Basalwindung werden von mehreren Arteriolae radiatae versorgt, die aus einer einzigen Stammarteriole entspringen. Die Schneckenspitze hat ein spezielles Gefäßnetzwerk, das sich von dem in anderen Teilen der Cochlea unterscheidet.
Summary
Resin replicas of the microvasculature of the cochlear lateral wall of the mice were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The vascular system of the mouse cochlea showed a similar architecture to that of the guinea pig, cat, and rat. Several thin connecting branches were found between the vessels of the osseous spiral lamina and the cochlear lateral wall at the apical end. The apical turn and the basal part of the lower basal turn were innervated by several radiating arterioles originating from a single stem arteriole. The hook portion and the apical end had a particular vascular meshwork different from other parts of the cochlea.
