GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The stapes pushes in and out against a structure called the oval window. This action is passed onto the cochlea, a fluid-filled snail-like structure that contains the organ of Corti, the organ for hearing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The structure separating the scala tympani from the cochlear duct is known as the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane contains a specialized structure known as the organ of Corti that plays a key role in auditory transduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cochlea is filled with two fluids (endolymph and perilymph), inside the cochlea is the sensory receptor-the Organ of Corti-which contains sensory cells with hair-like structures (hair cells) that are the nerve receptors for hearing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your cochlea is the hearing organ. This snail-shaped structure contains two fluid-filled chambers lined with tiny hairs. When sound enters, the fluid inside of your cochlea causes the tiny hairs to vibrate, sending electrical impulses to your brain.
