  2. Reticular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticular_membrane

    The reticular membrane (RM, also called reticular lamina or apical cuticular plate) [1] is a thin, stiff lamina that extends from the outer hair cells to the Hensen's cells. [2] The RM is composed of "minute-fiddle-shaped cuticular structures" called the phalangeal extensions of the outer hair cells, interspaced with extensions coming from the ...

    The Human Cell Atlas project, which started in 2016, had as one of its goals to "catalog all cell types (for example, immune cells or brain cells) and sub-types in the human body". [13] By 2018, the Human Cell Atlas description based the project on the assumption that "our characterization of the hundreds of types and subtypes of cells in the ...

    The hair cells are the primary auditory receptor cells and they are also known as auditory sensory cells, acoustic hair cells, auditory cells or cells of Corti. The organ of Corti is lined with a single row of inner hair cells and three rows of outer hair cells. The hair cells have a hair bundle at the apical surface of the cell.

    Deiters' cell has a phalangeal process which extends up, meeting the top of the hair cell. The reticular lamina is the surface formed by the apical surfaces of the inner hair cells, the pillar cells, the apical outer hair cells and the phalangeal process of Deiters' cells.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deiters'_cells

    Deiters' cells, also known as outer phalangeal cells or cells of Deiters (English: / ˈ d aɪ t ər z /), are a cell type found within the inner ear. They contain both microfilaments and microtubules which run from the basilar membrane to the reticular membrane of the inner ear.

  7. Organ of Corti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_of_Corti

    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 ...
