Structure of the cochlea, artwork
Structure of the cochlea. Computer artwork of a section through the organ of Corti, the auditory sense organ that lines the spiral of the cochlea in the inner ear. This structure contains rows of hair cells (blue): outer hair cells (right) and inner hair cells (left). On top of these cells are stereocilia, which touch the tectorial membrane (green, top) and detect tiny movements in the membrane. These movements are as a result of sound-induced pressures in the inner ear fluids. The hair cells translate these movements into electrical impulses, which travel down the nerve fibres (orange) to the brain, where they are deciphered as sound.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate structure of the cochlea, the auditory sense organ found in the inner ear. The image reveals a section through the organ of Corti, which lines the spiral shape of the cochlea. Rows of hair cells, depicted in blue hues, are visible within this structure. On one side we see outer hair cells while on the other side there are inner hair cells. The stereocilia, protruding from these hair cells like delicate bristles, make contact with the tectorial membrane shown in vibrant green at the top. These tiny projections play a crucial role in detecting minuscule movements within this membrane caused by sound-induced pressures in fluids present within our inner ear. As sound waves enter our ears and reach this complex system, these movements are translated into electrical impulses by these specialized hair cells. These impulses then travel down nerve fibers depicted as orange strands towards our brain where they are decoded and perceived as sound. This stunning illustration not only highlights how our biological system is designed to detect and transmit sounds but also emphasizes its importance for maintaining healthy hearing abilities. It serves as a reminder of just how remarkable and intricate our sense organs truly are.
