basilar membrane
the basilar membrane supports the organ of corti, which sits within the scala media. the organ of corti comprises both outer and inner hair cells. there are approximately between 15,000 and 16,000 of these hair cells in one ear. outer hair cells have stereocilia projecting towards the tectorial membrane, which sits above the organ of corti. stereocilia respond to movement of the tectorial membrane when a sound causes vibration through the cochlea. when this occurs, the stereocilia separate and a channel is formed that allows chemical processes to take place. eventually the signal reaches the eighth nerve, followed by processing in the brain.
