The actual hearing organ of the vertebrate ear, located in the floor of the cochlear canal in the inner ear; contains the receptor cells (hair cells) of the ear.

the sensory part of the inner ear that converts sound signals into nerve impulses. Located on the basilar membrane, it contains sensory cells that transform vibrations into neural code for sound processing by the brain. It contains many important cells including the inner and outer hair cells.

The organ of Corti contains hair cells which bend as a result of fluid movement in the cochlear. The organ of Corti is the organ of hearin within the ear.

The organ that contains the special sensory receptors for hearing. It is composed of a series of epithelial structures placed upon the inner part of the basilar membrane.

Also known as the organ of hearing. The organ of Corti rests on the basilar membrane in the cochlear canal.
