| OVLT | organum vasculosa of the lamina terminalis |
| organum spirale | A prominent ridge of highly specialised epithelium in the floor of the cochlear duct overlying the basilar membrane of cochlea, containing one inner row and three outer rows of hair cells, or cells of Corti (the auditory receptor cells innervated by the cochlear nerve) supported by various columnar cells: the pillars of Corti, cells of Hensen, and cells of Claudius; the spiral organ is partly overhung by an awning-like shelf, the tectorial membrane, the free marginal zone of which is covered by a gelatinous substance in which the stereocilia of the outer hair cells are embedded. Synonym: organum spirale, acoustic papilla, Corti's organ. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ganglion spirale cochleae | An elongated ganglion of bipolar sensory nerve cell bodies on the cochlear part of the vestibulocochlear nerve in the spiral canal of the modiolus; each ganglion cell gives rise to a peripheral process that passes between the layers of the bony spiral lamina to the organ of Corti, and a central axon that enters the hindbrain as a component of the inferior (cochlear) root of the eighth nerve. Synonym: ganglion spirale cochleae, auditory ganglion, cochlear ganglion, Corti's ganglion, spiral cochlear ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vas spirale | A blood vessel, larger than its fellows, running in the tympanic layer of the basilar membrane just beneath the tunnel of Corti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum spirale cochleae | An alternate term for spiral ligament of cochlea, spiral ligament of cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum | Synonym: organ, organ. Origin: L. Tool, instrument (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum auditus | Archaic term for vestibulocochlear organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum gustus | Located in the papillae of the mucous membrane of the tongue, chiefly in the vallate papillae. Synonym: organum gustus, organ of taste. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum olfactus | The olfactory region in the superior portion of the nasal cavity. Synonym: organum olfactus, organ of smell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum tactus | Any one of the sensory end organs. Synonym: organum tactus, tactile organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum vestibulocochleare | The external, middle, and internal ear. Synonym: organum vestibulocochleare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum visus | The eye and its adnexa. Synonym: organum visus, organ of vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organum vomeronasale | A specialised part of the olfactory system located anteriorly in the nasal cavity within the nasal septum. Chemosensitive cells of the vomeronasal organ project via the vomeronasal nerve to the accessory olfactory bulb. The primary function of this organ appears to be in sensing pheromones which regulate reproductive and other social behaviours. While the structure has been thought absent in higher primate adults, data now suggests it may be present in adult humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
