cochleae, plural;
  1. The spiral cavity of the inner ear containing the organ of Corti, which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations

  1. (cochlea) 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
  2. 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.
  3. (Cochlea) A snail shaped mechanism in the inner ear that contain hair cells of basilar membrane that vibrate to aid in frequency recognition.
  4. (cochlea) cochlée / limaçon de l'oreille
  5. (Cochlea) the part of the inner ear where
  6. The cochlea is in the inner ear. It's a snail-shaped tube that is filled with fluid and has tiny hair cells. Sound that comes into the cochlea moves the hair cells back and forth. This turns sounds into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the auditory (hearing) nerve.
  7. (Cochlea) Snail shaped organ, also called the inner ear.
  8. (cochlea) Structure within the inner ear that detects sound.
  9. (cochlea) The coiled and channeled main structure of the inner ear, which contains three fluid-filled canals that run along its entire convoluted length; the fluid-filled canals are separated by membranes, one of which is the basilar membrane, on which thousands of hair cells (auditory receptors ...
  10. (Cochlea) A conical bony structure or the inner ear; perforated by numerous openings for passage of the cochlear division of the acoustic nerve.
  11. (Cochlea) A hollow tube in the inner ear that is coiled to resemble a snail's shell; it contains thin fluid and the organ of Corti, and it is where sound vibrations picked up by the middle ear are carried
  12. (Cochlea) A snail-shaped, fluid-filled organ of the inner ear responsible for transducing motion into neurotransmission to produce an auditory sensation.
  13. (Cochlea) Liquid-filled structure in the ear that senses vibrations and generates nerve impulses in response.
  14. (Cochlea) The snail-shaped cavity, approximately 1-1/4 inches long, 3/8 inches wide and 2 inches high, in the temporal bone that contains the basilar membrane which is the organ of hearing. [4]
  15. (Cochlea) is a part of the inner ear that translates incoming sound waves into electrical signals that can be understood by the brain. (See more under Structure of the Ear.)
  16. (Cochlea) is the spiral-shaped hole located in the temporal bone where sound energy is received and nerve impulses are created to encode hearing.
  17. (Cochlea) the spiral organ of the labyrinth of the ear, which is concerned with the reception and analysis of sound.
  18. (cochlea) 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. ...
  19. (cochlea) [ˈkɑkliə] -the organ in the inner ear that separates incoming sounds into their frequency components and sends that information as nerve impulses to the brain.
  20. The cochlea is the inner ear. It resembles the circular shell of a snail and houses a system of tubes filled with a watery liquid as well as tiny hair cells. ...
