Descriptor English: Spiral Ligament of Cochlea
Descriptor Spanish: Ligamento Espiral de la Cóclea
Descriptor ligamento espiral de la cóclea
Scope note: Engrosamiento espiral del recubrimiento fibroso de la pared coclear. El ligamento espiral fija el CONDUCTO COCLEAR membranoso al canal óseo en espiral de la CÓCLEA. Los fibrocitos del ligamento espiral actúan conjuntamente con la ESTRÍA VASCULAR para mediar en la homeostasis iónica coclear.
