Using serially sectioned human temporal bones, endolymphatic volumes of utriculus and sacculus were measured with the aid of a computer. The mean of the utricular volume was 8.187 mm3, and the saccular volume, 2.096 mm3. The former was 3.9 X the latter. The surface area of the macula utriculi was 3.271 mm2, and the macula sacculi was 2.188 mm2. The former was 1.5 X the latter. The study using pathologic temporal bones (Meniere's disease, otosclerosis, and otitis media chronica) showed that the utricular volume could indeed increase, and the saccular membrane was found to be more fragile than the utricular membrane in those diseased conditions.
利用连续切片的人类颞骨，借助计算机测量椭圆囊和球囊的内淋巴体积。椭圆囊体积的平均值为8.187立方毫米，球囊体积为2.096立方毫米。前者是后者的3.9倍。椭圆囊斑的表面积为3.271平方毫米，球囊斑为2.188平方毫米。前者是后者的1.5倍。对病理颞骨（梅尼埃病、耳硬化症和慢性中耳炎）的研究表明，椭圆囊体积确实可能增大，并且发现在这些疾病状态下球囊膜比椭圆囊膜更脆弱。
