Fig. 2. The morphologies of Fgf3 mutant inner ears fall into types of
increasing severity. Lateral views of paint-filled inner ears from E15.5
control (A,B) and Fgf3 mutant (C-I) mice. The
percentage of each type among total mutants is indicated at the upper right.
Asterisks and star (in I) indicate expected locations of missing structures.
Ear side indicated by R (right) and L (left). Structures are labeled in the
control left ear (A): aa, anterior ampulla; asc, anterior semicircular canal;
cc, common crus; cd, cochlear duct; ed, endolymphatic duct; es, endolymphatic
sac; la, lateral ampulla; lsc, lateral semicircular canal; pa, posterior
ampulla; psc, posterior semicircular canal; s, saccule; u, utricle.
