(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 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.
The cochlea is a curled tube and acts as the hearing part of the inner ear. It contains an outer and inner chamber, both of which are filled with liquid. Within the inner chamber is the organ of corti, which contains thousands of hair cells, of which each one has minute formations called stereocilia.
