| Abstract | The sensory hair cells of the amphibian papilla (AP) of the northern leopard frog were examined in a light-microscopic analysis. Hair cell length and cross-sectional area were found to vary systematically along the rostro-caudal axis of the endorgan. The AP was readily divided into three morphological regions. Rostrally-located hair cells are tall, cylindrically-shaped cells with large cross-sectional areas and long stereocilia; caudally-located hair cells are short, goblet-shaped cells with small cross-sectional areas and short stereocilia. In the middle region, hair cells exhibit features intermediate to those of hair cells located at the AP extremes. The detailed pattern of changes in hair cell morphology along the endorgan correlates well with its observed tonotopy and may have implications for the intrinsic tuning of the AP. |
