Scope note: Células sensoriales localizadas en el órgano de Corti caracterizadas por sus estereocilios apicales (proyecciones a modo de pelos). Las capas de células ciliadas interna y externa, en función de su proximidad al núcleo de hueso esponjoso (modiolo) cambian morfológicamente a lo largo de la CÓCLEA. Hacia el vértice coclear aumenta la longitud de los cuerpos celulares y se incrementan los ESTEREOCILIOS apicales, lo que permite respuestas diferenciadas a las diversas frecuencias del sonido.

Scope note: Sensory cells in the organ of Corti, characterized by their apical stereocilia (hair-like projections). The inner and outer hair cells, as defined by their proximity to the core of spongy bone (the modiolus), change morphologically along the COCHLEA. Towards the cochlear apex, the length of hair cell bodies and their apical STEREOCILIA increase, allowing differential responses to various frequencies of sound.
