  1. Cochlea - Wikipedia

    • The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, in humans making 2.75 turns around its axis, the modiolus. A core component of the cochlea is the organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating the fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of the cochlea. … See more

    Etymology

    The name 'cochlea' is derived from the Latin word for snail shell, which in turn is from the Ancient Greek κοχλίας kokhlias … See more

    Structure

    The cochlea (pl.: cochleae) is a spiraled, hollow, conical chamber of bone, in which waves propagate from the base (near the middle ear and the oval window) to the apex (the top or center of the spiral). The spiral canal of th… See more

    Function

    The cochlea is filled with a watery liquid, the endolymph, which moves in response to the vibrations coming from the middle ear via the oval window. As the fluid moves, the cochlear partition (basilar membrane and organ of Co… See more

    Clinical significance

    Damage to the cochlea can result from different incidents or conditions like a severe head injury, a cholesteatoma, an infection, and/or exposure to loud noise which could kill hair cells in the cochlea.

  1. Inside the cochlea:
    1. The cochlea is filled with fluid (perilymph and endolymph) and is divided into three chambers: scala vestibuli, scala media, and scala tympani.
    2. Two of these fluid-filled chambers sense pressure changes caused by sound.
    3. The third chamber contains the organ of Corti, the cochlear duct, and the basilar membrane.
    4. The organ of Corti acts like the body's "microphone" for hearing.
    5. The cochlea converts sound vibrations into electrical impulses transmitted to the brain12345.

    The cochlea works with parts of the outer and middle ear to help you hear sounds. It looks like a small spiral-shaped snail shell. In fact, cochlea means “snail” in Greek. The cochlea is filled with liquid. It contains a smaller, sensitive structure called the organ of Corti. This acts like the body’s “microphone.”

    Within the cochlea the different frequencies of complex sounds are sorted out, or analyzed, and the physical energy of these sound vibrations is converted, or transduced, into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brainstem by the cochlear nerve.

    The cochlea is shaped like a snail and is divided into two chambers by a membrane. The chambers are full of fluid which vibrates when sound comes in and causes the small hairs which line the membrane to vibrate and send electrical impulses to the brain. The semi-circular canals are also known as the labyrinthine.

    Branching off the vestibule of the inner ear, the cochlea consists of a bony labyrinth spiraling around a central bony core. Within this bony spiral is a membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth comprises two chambers, called scalae.
