Uberon definition : The ganglion of the vestibular nerve. It contains the cell bodies of the bipolar primary
afferent neurons whose peripheral processes form synaptic contact with hair cells
of the vestibular sensory end organs[WP,unvetted]. Distributed to the maculae of the
utricle and saccule and to the ampullary crests of the semicircular ducts. The vestibular
fibers arise in bipolar cells in the vestibular ganglion in the internal acoustic
meatus.;
Uberon synonym : vestibular part of vestibulocochlear ganglion; vestibulocochlear VIII ganglion vestibular component; Scarpa's ganglion;
