(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 is the cochlea, which contains the auditory sensory receptors, called hair cells The cochlea is filled with fluid Floating the middle of the fluid is the basilar membrane The hair cells are embedded in a part of the membrane called the organ of Corti When the oval window vibrates a second membrane within the cochlea, the round window, bulges, causing the basilar membrane to b end and stimulates the hair cells to produce AP Basilar Membrane Higher sound frequencies cause maximum ...
