The organ of Corti is located in the scala media of the cochlea of the inner ear between the vestibular duct and the tympanic duct and is composed of mechanosensory cells, known as hair cells. [2] Strategically positioned on the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti are three rows of outer hair cells (OHCs) and one row of inner hair cells ...
English: Organ of Corti. In comparison to earlier version, I corrected 2 small errors (1: perilymph (dark purple) is found within the corti organ; 2: the tips of the inner hair cell’s stereocilia don’t touch the tectorial membrane); Added No. 14a and 14b

The cochlear duct contains the organ of Corti. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] This is attached to the basilar membrane. [ 5 ] It also contains endolymph , which contains high concentrations of K + for the function of inner hair cells and outer hair cells in the organ of Corti.
The stria vascularis is a rich bed of capillaries and secretory cells; Reissner's membrane is a thin membrane that separates endolymph from perilymph; and the basilar membrane is a mechanically somewhat stiff membrane, supporting the receptor organ for hearing, the organ of Corti, and determines the mechanical wave propagation properties of the ...
This movement is conveyed to the organ of Corti inside the cochlear duct, composed of hair cells attached to the basilar membrane and their stereocilia embedded in the tectorial membrane. The movement of the basilar membrane compared to the tectorial membrane causes the stereocilia to bend.
