(December 2014). The organ of Corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea. Described as a masterpiece of cellular micro-architecture, this highly varied strip of epithelial cells allows for transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses' action potential.December 2014).

The inner ear. The delicate membranous inner ear (labyrinth) is enclosed and protected by a bony chamber that is referred to as the bony labyrinth. The inner ear contains two main structures: The cochlea, in the shape of a snail, which is involved in hearing.The round window (fenestra cochlea) is a membrane that connects the cochlea to the middle ear.his mechanical energy is then transmitted from the stapes to the hearing part (cochlea) of the inner ear via the oval window (a thin membrane between the middle and inner ear). The middle ear is connected to the back of the nose (nasopharynx) by the Eustachian tube.
