Exploring the biomechanical responses of human cupula by numerical analysis of temperature experiments

Abstract The vestibular receptor of cupula acts an important role in maintaining body balance. However, the cupula buried in the semicircular canals (SCCs) will be destroyed if it is detached from the relevant environment. The mechanical properties of human cupula still remain ambiguous. In this pap...
