Anatomy of the cochlea
Across
- 1. fluid exists within the organ of corti
- 3. involved in motor control in the inner ear
- 4. runs through the center of the cochlea
- 6. scala vestibuli and scala tympani meet here
- 8. membrane sits above the organ of Corti
- 10. shaped like a spiral lamp and projects laterally out of the modiolus
- 13. known as the cochlear duct
- 14. high in Sodium and is outside the membranous labyrinth
- 15. has lots of blood supply and is the “battery” of the ear
Down
- 2. flask-shaped cells
- 5. pushes on the cochlea to compress the fluids
- 7. run through the core of the modiolus
- 9. bulges out of the scala tympani
- 11. high in Potassium and within the membranous labyrinth
- 12. divides the organ of Corti from the scala media
