[edit] What is a 'neutron of force'?

Why did you revert? Neutrons are not involved in the process of hearing. Perhaps this is a misspelling of 'newtons'? --Ehinson56 15:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

First time here, hope I'm doing this correctly. Question: Why does loud, intense noise result in high frequency deafness?xxxx

[edit] Actin Filament Terminology

from the wikipedia page regarding actin: The polarity of an actin filament can be determined by decorating the microfilament with myosin "S1" fragments, creating barbed (+) and pointed (-) ends on the filament. An S1 fragment is composed of the head and neck domains of myosin II.

the original use of the barbed/pointed terminology was misleading in that it implied that this was an actual characteristic of actin rather than simply due to a procedure performed in order to determine +/- orientation within cells. If mention of barbed and pointed is going to be made it should be linked to this page with a short explanation. This seems unnecessary however as that detail is not important to the understanding of stereocilia; positive/minus terminology is sufficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Repapetilto (talk • contribs) 00:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
