The receptor for hearing which lies within the cochlea.
A membrane in the cochlea which takes sounds and converts them into impulses sent to the brain along the auditory nerve.
The organ of hearing in the inner ear, a minute duct filled with microscopic hair cells that take incoming sound vibrations and transform them into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain. Damage to the organ of Corti causes significant ear and hearing problems.
Hearing organ of the inner ear; contains various cells and receptors that sense sound waves and transmit the sensations to the brain.
The long, spiral-shaped structure that extends along the floor of the cochlear duct and is stimulated by sound waves.
An auditory component located within the cochlea of the inner ear is referred to as the organ of Corti. Within this structure, sensory hair cells vibrate upon exposure to sounds, converting them into electrical signals that travel through the cochlear nerve to the brain.
