Sounds like gibberish to me (since it refers to a sensory fish hair cell, and last time I checked fish didn't have hair). But maybe it makes sense to a biologist or medicine student, in which case please tell me if this is valid, dicdef or indeed gibberish. [[User:Radiant!|Radiant!]] 13:41, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Actually, [http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ghr/glossary/haircells they are for real]. However, they are those hairs in your inner ear that tell your brain about which way your head is accelerating. This definition has nothing to do with what they really are (except as a description of a special case, I presume). Therefore, not even transwikiable. I'm not a bio guy, so perhaps there's enough research to build a whole article out of, but I should imagine it probably should just be a dicdef. With the correct definition of course.
