Fig. 4. Histology of inner ears from Foxi1+/+ and
Foxi1-/- embryos at E16.5. (A,B) The lateral (LSD) and
posterior (PSD) semicircular ducts as well as the endolymphatic duct (ED) are
expanded in the mutant ear. (C,D) In the cochlea of
Foxi1-/- ear the basal turn (BT) is larger and the apical
turn (AT) has formed an apical cyst (AC). Scale bar: 200 µm for A,B; 100
µm for C,D.
