In anatomy, a structural component of the cochlea which supports the corti.
A membrane in the cochlea which transmits nerve impulses from sound vibrations to the auditory nerve.
Cellular structure in the ear that forms a floor of the cochlear duct and provides a base for the organ of Corti, the main organ of hearing.
A membrane in the cochlea of the ear that separates the two of the three channels (scalae) that run the length of the spiral cochlea. The organ of Corti is situated on the basilar membrane, inside the scala media.
The membrane extending from the tympanic lip of the osseous spiral lamina to the crest of the spiral ligament in the cochlea of the ear. It separates the tympanic canal from the cochlear duct and supports the organ of Corti.
The basilar membrane is a membrane located within the cochlea, which is the inner ear structure responsible for hearing. When sound waves enter the cochlea, they cause the basilar membrane to vibrate. This vibration stimulates sensory hair cells, triggering the generation of electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain for processing.
