Descriptor English: Hair Cells, Auditory, Outer
Descriptor Spanish: Células Ciliadas Auditivas Externas
Descriptor células ciliadas auditivas externas
Scope note: Células sensoriales del órgano de Corti. En los mamíferos suelen estar dispuestas en tres o cuatro hileras, alejadas del núcleo de hueso esponjoso (el modiolo), laterales a las CÉLULAS CILIADAS AUDITIVAS INTERNAS y otras estructuras de sostén. La longitud de los cuerpos celulares y de los ESTEREOCILIOS aumenta desde la base de la cóclea hacia el vértice y lateralmente a lo largo de las hileras, lo que permite las respuestas diferenciadas a las distintas frecuencias del sonido.

Scope note: Sensory cells of organ of Corti. In mammals, they are usually arranged in three or four rows, and away from the core of spongy bone (the modiolus), lateral to the INNER AUDITORY HAIR CELLS and other supporting structures. Their cell bodies and STEREOCILIA increase in length from the cochlear base toward the apex and laterally across the rows, allowing differential responses to various frequencies of sound.
