Organ of Corti
The organ of Corti is part of the inner ear. It is located on the basilar membrane in the cochlea.
The organ of Corti is named after the Italian anatomist A.Corti
The function of the hair cells
The organ of Corti includes the inner and outer hair cells with each their function. The combined function of the two types of hair cells is essential to the function of hearing.
The inner hair cells
The inner hair cells convert the physical energy in the fluid of the inner ear into electrical energy, which is delivered to the brain via Cranial Nerve VIII (the auditory nerve).
The outer hair cells
The function of the outer hair cells is somewhat similar to the servo mechanism in a car. The weak vibrations produced by a soft sound are increased mechanically so as to stimulate the inner hair cells.
