At lower right, the organ of Corti consists of the tectorial membrane (blue), hair cells (dark blue and light blue), and sensory neurons (orange) leading to the auditory nerve. A hair cell is at lower left, with its cilia and sensory microvilli (dark blue). For this artwork without labels, see C023/8844.
