11. The cause of death was a basilar skull fracture. 12. The structure evolved from the basilar papilla and is crucial for mechanotransduction in mammals. 13. Therefore, when the basilar membrane moves due to vibrations, the stereocilia bend. 14. These signs are characteristic for basilar skull fractures. 15. He could measure vibrations along the basilar membrane in response to different excitations frequencies. 16. The pattern of voltages along the basilar membrane can be viewed on an oscilloscope. 17. The basilar artery runs within the basilar sulcus. 18. The basilar artery runs within the basilar sulcus. 19. He found that Earnhardt died of massive head whiplash that caused a basilar skull fracture. 20. That impact produced a basilar skull fracture.
