Otic vesicle Otic vesicle Otic vesicle, or auditory vesicle, consists of either of the two sac-like invaginations formed and subsequently closed off during embryonic development. It is part of the neural ectoderm, which will develop into the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. This labyrinth is a continuous epithelium, giving rise to the vestibular system and auditory components of the inner ear. During the earlier stages of embryogenesis, the otic placode invaginates to produce the otic cup. Thereafter, the otic cup closes off, creating the otic vesicle. Once formed, the otic vesicle will reside next to the neural tube medially, and on
Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy the video teaching aid uses simple language and high quality images. The official website claims: ""Each minute of the finished product took twelve hours to produce: five in creating the script, five in making the shots, and two in post-production."" The British Medical Journal wrote that "Robert Acland’s video atlas series represents a powerful force against .. perceived dumbing down and has set about reinvigorating the subject through its crystal clear presentation of human anatomy." Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is a series of anatomy lessons on video presented by Robert D. Acland.
