(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).

Organ of Corti. (inside cochlea) organ located in the cochlea; contains receptors (hair cells) that receive vibrations and generate nerve impulses for hearing -------sense organ of hearing; runs along length of basilar membrane; consists of hair and support cells that react to the traveling wave. î î î.----- Sensorineural deafness: caused by the impairment if hair cells in the cochlea or damage of the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve. -------Conduction deafness: caused by impairment of the outer and middle ear mechanisms for transmitting sounds to the cochlea.
