Hair cell bundles: flexoelectric motors of the inner ear.

Hair cell bundles: flexoelectric motors of the inner ear.

Microvilli (stereocilia) projecting from the apex of hair cells in the inner ear are actively motile structures that feed energy into the vibration of the inner ear and enhance sensitivity to sound.
