  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 (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).
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlea
    The cochlea is a shell-shaped spiral that turns between two-and-a-half and two-and-three-quarters times around the modiolus (a central column of porous bone). The spiral of the cochlea is separated by the osseous spiral lamina and consists of the scala tympani (lower portion), scala media and scala vestibuli (upper portion).
