Basilar membrane

Index Basilar membrane

The basilar membrane within the cochlea of the inner ear is a stiff structural element that separates two liquid-filled tubes that run along the coil of the cochlea, the scala media and the scala tympani (see figure). [1]

Cochlea

The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing.

Cochlear duct

The Cochlear Duct (or Scala Media) is an endolymph filled cavity inside the cochlea, located in between the tympanic duct and the vestibular duct, separated by the basilar membrane and Reissner's membrane (the vestibular membrane) respectively.

Deiters cells

Deiters' cells, also known as phalangeal cells or cells of Deiters, are a cell type found within the inner ear.

Georg von Békésy

Georg von Békésy (Békésy György,; 3 June 1899 – 13 June 1972) was a Hungarian biophysicist born in Budapest, Hungary.

Greenwood function

The Greenwood function correlates the position of the hair cells in the inner ear to the frequencies that stimulate their corresponding auditory neurons.

Hair cell

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates.

Inner ear

The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear.

Organ of Corti

The organ of Corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea.

Perilymph

Perilymph is an extracellular fluid located within the inner ear.

Reticular membrane

The reticular membrane (RM, also called reticular lamina or apical cuticular plate) University of Michigan Medical School; accessed 4 Apr 2013 is a thin, stiff lamina that extends from the outer hair cells to the Hensen's cells.

Stereocilia (inner ear)

In the inner ear, stereocilia are the mechanosensing organelles of hair cells, which respond to fluid motion in numerous types of animals for various functions, including hearing and balance.

Tympanic duct

The tympanic duct or scala tympani is one of the perilymph-filled cavities in the inner ear of the human.

Vestibular duct

The vestibular duct or scala vestibuli is a perilymph-filled cavity inside the cochlea of the inner ear that conducts sound vibrations to the cochlear duct.

Vestibular membrane

The vestibular membrane, vestibular wall or Reissner's membrane, is a membrane inside the cochlea of the inner ear.
