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