Across
  1. 1. Core of temporal bone that runs up through the center of the cochlea
  2. 3. Membrane that divides the scala vestibuli and scala media
  3. 6. Cochlear duct filled with endolymph
  4. 7. The labyrinth that is the space within the temporal bone that encases the inner ear
  5. 10. Membrane that sits above the Organ of Corti
  6. 11. Divides the Organ of Corti from the scala media
  7. 14. Fracture that is 20-30% of all temporal bone fractures
  8. 16. Membrane that divides the scala media and scala tympani
  9. 17. Are flask shape and pick up primarily afferent information
  10. 20. Mostly involved in motor control of inner ear, tubular shape
  11. 22. Fluid debated to be in the Organ of Corti
  12. 23. What fibers connect stereocillia
Down
  1. 1. The labyrinth that is the inner core of the inner ear
  2. 2. Fracture that is 70-80% of all temporal bone fractures
  3. 4. Neurons that carry information from the CNS
  4. 5. tiny opening at the apex of the cochlea where the scala vestibuli and scala tympani meet
  5. 6. Cochlear duct filled with perilymph and inferior to scala media
  6. 8. the "battery" of the war, on the lateral wall of the scala media
  7. 9. Fluid high in potassium and within membraneous labyrinth
  8. 12. Where mechanical energy is transduced into neural signals
  9. 13. Cochlear duct filled with perilymph and superior to scala media
  10. 15. Bone structure that looks like a spiral staircase
  11. 18. Neurons that carry sensory information to the CNS
  12. 19. Fluid high in sodium and is in spaces exterior to the membranous labyrinth
  13. 21. Its functions are to filter, distribute, and transduce
