The spiral ganglion (10) is situated in ___
the spiral canal of the modiolus.
The spiral ganglion (10) is situated in ___
the spiral canal of the modiolus.
What types of cells does spiral ganglion (10) contain?
This ganglion contains large bipolar cells with round or oval perikaryon
Cochlear duct
-> Which structures make up the borders of the cochlear duct (or Scala media)?
The basilar membrane (9), the vestibular (Reissner’s) membrane (6) and the stria vascularis (7)
What type of epithelial lining do sla tympani and scala vestibuli have?
Simple squamous epithelial lining
(except the side of the basilar membrane facing the scala tympani, where the epithelium is simple cuboldal).
What is Basilar membrane (9)?
A connective tissue layer,
Where does the basilar membrane terminate? What is its role?
it terminates at the crista spiralis (8) and supports the organ of Corti (12).
What is Vestibular (Reissner’s) membrane (6)?
A thin connective tissue layer, covered by simple squamous epithelium on both sides.
What type of epithelium is the Stria vascularis (7)?
Stratified cuboidal epithelium (rich in capillaries).
Which type of epithelium is the only one containing blood vessels?
Stratified cuboidal epithelium (rich in capillaries).
What is the role of Stria vascularis (7)?
Stria vascularis produces
endolymph which fills the cochlear duct
