Tree Number(s): A08.675.650.250; A08.675.650.915.750.600.350; A08.800.950.750.600.350; A09.246.300.246.577.325; A11.671.650.250; A11.671.650.915.750.600.350
Unique ID: D006198
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006198
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.
