  1. Cochlea - Wikipedia

    • 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 the cochlea is a section of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear that is approximately 30 mm long and makes 23⁄4 turns about the modiolus. The c… See more

    Overview

    The cochlea is the part of the inner ear involved in hearing. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, in humans … 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 ("snail, screw"), and from κόχλος kokhlos ("spiral shell") in reference to its coiled shape; the … 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. The cochlea is a fluid-filled, snail-like structure within a cavity in the inner ear. It plays a vital role in the function of hearing rather than simply being another component of the skeletal system. The cochlea contains hair cells that convert sound waves into electrical impulses that are carried along the auditory nerve to the brain.

    The cochlea is a component of the labyrinth of the internal ear that is responsible for hearing. It is a hollow, spirally coiled chamber inside the temporal bone that makes 2.75 turns around its axis, which is called the modiolus. The cavity of the cochlea (cochlear canal) houses a triangular membranous duct, called the cochlear duct.

    The cochlea contains the sensory organ of hearing. It bears a striking resemblance to the shell of a snail and in fact takes its name from the Greek word for this object. The cochlea is a spiral tube that is coiled two and one-half turns around a hollow central pillar, the modiolus.

    The cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped organ that contains fluid (perilymph and endolymph), is found in the inner ear. The cochlea houses the cell bodies of the cochlear nerve within a region called the spiral ganglion. Nerve cells (neurons) in the spiral ganglion project sound signals to tiny hair cells also located within the cochlea.
