Inner Ear, Cochlea
Low magnification of a cross section through one of the turns of the cochlea
of the inner ear. The cochlea consists of two duct regions, separated by
the basilar membrane (BM) which supports the neurosensory hair cells (HC)
of the inner ear which make synaptic contact onto bipolar neurons, the cell
bodies of which constitute the spiral ganglion (SG).
