Statolith information

Statolith may refer to: A structure in the statocyst, which allows certain invertebrates to sense gravity and balance A structure in the statocyte, cells...

Many other invertebrates grow a few hard parts, largely mineralised, as statoliths and similar structures, but those are not generally referred to as sclerites...

squids can be estimated through analysis of statolith microstructure. There are two growth zones in statolith microstructures: an inner, translucent postnuclear...

This gravitational theory of gravisensing is directly opposed to the statolith theory exhibited by the settling of amyloplasts. Cytoplasmic streaming...

a giant squid can be determined by "growth rings" in the statocyst's statolith, similar to determining the age of a tree by counting its rings. Much...
