Flux AI: Basilar membrane

Basilar membrane Flux Artworks

Labelled H&E stained histology image of cochlea divided into three compartments. Scala media appears triangular attached to osseous spiral lamina. Upper wall is vestibular membrane separating it from scala vestibuli. Outer wall made of striae vascularis containing capillaries and three cell types: inner marginal cells, intermediate pigment cells, outer basal cells. Lower wall is basilar membrane separating from scala tympani. Organ of corti rests on basilar membrane, overlain by tectorial membrane. Inner hair cells close to spiral lamina with a single row; outer hair cells farther away with three to five rows. Inner phalangeal cells surround inner hair cells completely; outer hair cells associated with basal portions. Pillar cells form a tunnel with broad surfaces and narrow cytoplasm.
