Organ of Corti (mouse)
This histology image is a section through one turn of the cochlea showing the organ of court.
- cells of Deiter - (outer phalangeal cells)
- cells of Claudius - (claudius cells) columnar cells with microvilli overlying the basilar membrane and extend from Hensen's cells to the spiral prominence. Barrier cells that lie external to the organ of corti in endolymph.
- outer hair cells - (OHCs) three rows of hair cells that function to increase basilar membrane motion through a local mechanical feedback process within the cochlea, the "cochlear amplifier".
- outer pillar cells - arranged in rows and form a boundary between the single row of inner hair cells and three rows of outer hair cells.
- pillar cells - (PC) form an inner and outer row of support cells that form a boundary between inner and outer hair cells.
- Reissner's membrane - (vestibular membrane, vestibular wall) is a membrane located inside the cochlea separating the scala media from scala vestibuli. Named after Ernst Reissner (1824-1878) a German anatomist. It primarily functions as a diffusion barrier, allowing nutrients to travel from the perilymph to the endolymph of the membranous labyrinth.
Within the cochlea, the specialised structure required for converting mechanical vibration into an electrical signal occurs at the organ of Corti. Named after Alfonso Giacomo Gaspare Corti (1822–1876), an Italian anatomist who discovered this structure in 1851.
