  1. Organ of Corti - Wikipedia

    • The organ of Corti, or spiral organ, is the receptor organ for hearing and is located in the mammalian cochlea. This highly varied strip of epithelial cells allows for transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses' action potential. Transduction occurs through vibrations of structures in the inner ear causing displacement of cochlear fluid and movement of … See more

    Structure

    The organ of Corti is located in the scala media of the cochlea of the inner ear between the vestibular duct and the
    Projecting … See more

    Function

    The function of the organ of Corti is to convert (transduce) sounds into electrical signals that can be transmitted to the brainstem through the auditory nerve. It is the auricle and middle ear that act as mechanica… See more

    Development

    The organ of Corti, in between the scala tympani and the scala media, develops after the formation and growth of the cochlear duct. The inner and outer hair cells then differentiate into their appropriate positions and are foll… See more

    Clinical significance

    The organ of Corti can be damaged by excessive sound levels, leading to noise-induced impairment.
    The most common kind of hearing impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, includes a… See more
