What is Cochle?
Cochlea is a small bone structure in the shape of a snail in the inner ear. There are several components of the structure, and these combined with the cochle itself are half of the structure of the inner ear that controls hearing. The second half of the labyrinth of the inner ear is the vestibular system that controls the balance.
There are many parts and structures in the cochle. First there are scala vestibuli and scala tympani that perform and transmit the air movement to the movement of the liquid inside the ear. This liquid then goes to the Conti organ, which in turn transmits the sound of generating electrical pulses to the brain that travels on a cochlear nerve and a cochlear core to create a sense of sound.
CONTI is closed in a cavity called a cochlear channel or scala medium that surrounds the organ in the liquid. The special membrane called Reissner's membrane separates the scala medium from Scala vestibuli. Another membrane, Basilar membrane, also serves as a barrier for the media Scala and separates it from Scala Tympani. In the whole Kochlea are small hair buResults that move in response to liquid passing through different channels and channels in the structure. These hair cells are what triggers electrical impulses that go to the cochlear nerve.
Most Kochlea is either closed or transports one of two special body fluids called perilymph and endolymphs. Perilymph is a liquid inside the ear that travels to the Conti organ and bear the sound. This liquid is similar to spinal fluid in the chemical composition. Endolymphs are located inside the cochlear canal and around the organ itself. Its unique chemical structure allows electrical current from the CONTI organ to flow freely into the hair cells of the inner ear and to the cochlear nerve that is connected to the brain. Although the CenDolymph, which is in accordance with the inner ear hearing components, is also an important part of the equilibrium part of the inner ear. Disruption of endolymphs with sudden movements or spinning is what makes the feeling of a feeling ofÁvratě.
If any of these components or structures are damaged either by a disease, a congenital defect or an accident, then the hearing damage is often the result. Sometimes it can be treated with a cochlear implant that acts as a bionic ear. In implantation in a person who has suffered a loss of hearing, these devices can sometimes bring back their hearing, or even provide them for the first time.
