The stria vascularis, a rare example of vascular epithelial tissue, supplies this organ with a very high 80 millivolt resting potential.
The stria vascularis, a rare example of vascular epithelial tissue, supplies this organ with a very high 80 millivolt resting potential. The motor protein prestin is found in cells of this organ. Boettcher, Hensen, and Claudius name specialized cells in it. The modiolus forms a central axis through this organ. Perilymph is found in the outer two sections of this organ, while endolymph is found between its basilar and Reissner membranes. The (*) base of this structure contains the round and oval windows. The vestibule, the semicircular canals, and this structure form the bony labyrinth. At its apex is the Organ of Corti, which is covered in both inner and outer hair cells.
