Several features of bird basilar papilla morphology were quantitatively studied in the starling and the pigeon in order to attempt a structure-function correlation. We confirmed and quantified several findings from earlier studies, but also obtained results contradictory to previous reports. The greatest discrepancies concerned the pattern of hair cell orientation. By including the results from other investigations, we describe a 'typical' avian basilar papilla and on this basis the specializations within individual species. These morphological specializations are discussed in the context of the available physiological data.
为了尝试建立结构与功能的相关性，我们对椋鸟和鸽子的鸟类基底乳头形态的几个特征进行了定量研究。我们证实并量化了早期研究的一些发现，但也得到了与先前报告相矛盾的结果。最大的差异在于毛细胞的定向模式。通过纳入其他研究的结果，我们描述了一种“典型”的鸟类基底乳头，并在此基础上阐述了各个物种的特殊之处。我们结合现有的生理学数据对这些形态学上的特殊之处进行了讨论。
