Study Notes
Vestibular Apparatus
- Essential for balance and spatial orientation.
- Includes saccule, which detects vertical movements.
- Vestibular duct plays a role in the transmission of sound vibrations.
Cochlea
- Spiral-shaped structure crucial for hearing.
- Oval window serves as the entry point for sound waves into the cochlea.
- Uncoiled description indicates its structure can be unfolded to study its components.
- Round window acts as a flexible membrane allowing for sound wave displacement.
- Organ of Corti contains hair cell receptors, essential for converting sound vibrations into nerve signals.
- Cochlear duct, filled with endolymph, aids in sound transmission.
- Basilar membrane supports the Organ of Corti and vibrates in response to sound.
- Tympanic duct structures the cochlea, housing perilymph fluid.
- Helicotrema connects the scala vestibuli with scala tympani, crucial for pressure balancing within the cochlea.
