- The snail-shaped tube (in the inner ear coiled around the modiolus) where sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses by the organ of Corti
- (cochlear) of or relating to the cochlea of the ear; "cochlear implant"
- The cochlea is the auditory portion of the inner ear. Its core component is the Organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of the cochlea.
- (Cochlear) The auditory portion of the inner ear.
- Snail-shaped structure in the inner ear that contains the organ of hearing.
- A snail-shaped, fluid-filled organ of the inner ear responsible for transducing motion into neurotransmission to produce an auditory sensation.
- A snail shaped mechanism in the inner ear that contain hair cells of basilar membrane that vibrate to aid in frequency recognition.
- The sensory organ of the ear, directly connected to the auditory nerve. A healthy cochlea is tuned to all frequencies from high to low (nearest the brain). In a cochlea, million of hair cells of varying lengths vibrate like tuning forks to specific frequencies. ...
- Latin = snail, hence the spiral cochlea, adjective - cochlear.
