Human Cochlea Stria Vascularis

Anatomical (upper half) and compartmental (lower half) model of the adult stria vascularis.

Showing the three cellular layers and depicting the location of potassium regulating channels.

The stria vascularis is electrochemically isolated from neighboring structures by tight junctions (black bars).

Marginal cells Intermediate cells Basal cells
line the lumen of the cochlear duct melanocyte-like cells lie between the marginal and basal cell layers mesenchymal spiral ligament fibrocytes
derived from epithelia derived from the neural crest derived from otic mesenchyme PMID 21925491.
