About This File
This 3D model of the organ of Corti provides a highly detailed and anatomically accurate representation of the primary sensory organ for hearing, located within the cochlea of the inner ear. It highlights key structures, including the basilar membrane, tectorial membrane, inner and outer hair cells, supporting cells, and auditory nerve fibers. The model clearly demonstrates how sound vibrations are transformed into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain for auditory perception.
Designed for educational and clinical purposes, this model is an invaluable tool for studying auditory anatomy, understanding the mechanics of hearing, and visualizing conditions such as sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear damage, and tinnitus. Ideal for audiologists, educators, and students, it supports teaching, training, and patient education by providing a hands-on approach to exploring the intricate structure and function of the organ of Corti.
