| Name: | stereocilium bundle |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | stereocilia bundle |
| Definition: | A bundle of cross-linked stereocilia, arranged around a kinocilium on the apical surface of a sensory hair cell (e.g. a neuromast, auditory or vestibular hair cell). Stereocilium bundles act as mechanosensory organelles by responding to fluid motion or fluid pressure changes. |
