A B C D
GE F
A model for mechoelectrical transduction by hair cells. In the absence ofany stimulation, at any instant each transduction channel at a stereocilium'stip may be either closed (A and F) or open (E). The greater probability isthat the channel is closed. When the hair bundle is deflected with a positivestimulus, the spring or tip link, exerts a force on the trap door and opensthe channel (B,C and D). The influx of K+ ions into the hair cell causesit to depolarize. Pushing the hair bundle in the opposite direction compressesthe spring (tip link), ensuring that the channel remains closed (G). Thisprevents the influx of K+ ions and causes the cell to hyperpolarize.

ExcitationRest
Rest: Small amount of K+ leaks into cell from rattling channels of stereocilia. The leakingK+ depolarizes cell thereby opening voltage sensitive Ca++ channels resulting in spontaneousrelease of transmitter and excitation of afferent nerve fibers (not shown). The depolarizationcauses K+ to leave cell in basal region.Excitation: Stereocilia are bent thereby opening channels which results in larger entry of K+into cell. The influx of K+ causes additional depolarization thereby opening more voltage gatedCa++ channels. The additional Ca++ channels that are now open cause a larger influx of Ca++in the base. The influx of Ca++ causes more transmitter to be released and thus a greaterexcitation of the afferent fibers (not shown).Inhibition: Stereocilia are bent in opposite direction thereby closing channels. This results in less influx of K+ at channels in the tips of stereocilia. K+ efflux occurs at base and is notreplenished by influx at stereocilia. Consequently, the hair cell hyperpolarizes thereby closingvoltage sensitive Ca++ channels at the base resulting in a smaller release, or even no release oftransmitter. Discharge of afferent fiber is therefore reduced to a rate even below the restinglevel.

the hair cells to depolarize and hyperpolarize in
response to sound
