Published	08/30/2024	The {{c1::cochlea}} is comprised of 3 long parallel “halls” or tubes rolled into a coil around the bony {{c2::modiolus}}
Published	08/30/2024	{{c1::Modiolus}} contains the {{c2::spiral}} ganglion with cell bodies of the {{c3::cochlear}} nerve (which, together with the vestibular nerve make u…
Published	08/30/2024	The organ of Corti lies within the scala {{c1::media}} and contains {{c2::hair}} cells which transduce sound into neural signals
