Cochlea Function

Front

Along most of its length it is divided by the cochlear duct into the vestibular canal and the tympanic canal. -The two canals are connected at the tip of the cochlear spiral by the helicotrema and are filled with perilymph. The cochlear duct is filled with endolymph and is bound on one side by Reissner's membrane (by the vesibular canal) and the basilar membrane (by the tympanic canal) on the other. Resting on the basilar membrane is the organ of corti, which is lined with cilia, or hairs that are designed to pick up on different types of vibrations of different frequencies. As these nerve fibers vibrate, they turn frequencies into electrical impulses that are passed, via the Auditory Nerve, to the brain where they are interpreted as sound.
