| canalis spiralis cochleae | The winding tube of the bony labyrinth which makes two and a half turns about the modiolus of the cochlea; it is divided incompletely into two compartments by a winding shelf of bone, the bony spiral lamina. Synonym: canalis spiralis cochleae, Rosenthal's canal, spiral canal of cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis spiralis modioli | <anatomy> The space in the modiolus in which the spiral ganglion of the cochlear nerve lies. Synonym: canalis spiralis modioli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvula spiralis | A series of crescentic folds of mucous membrane in the upper part of the cystic duct, arranged in a somewhat spiral manner. Synonym: plica spiralis ductus cystici, Amussat's valve, Heister's valve, spiral valve of cystic duct, valvula spiralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena spiralis modioli | The vein running a spiral course in the modiolus of the cochlea; it is tributary to both the labyrinthine vein and the vein of the cochlear canaliculus. Synonym: vena spiralis modioli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana spiralis | An alternate term for tympanic wall of cochlear duct, tympanic wall of cochlear duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plica spiralis ductus cystici | A series of crescentic folds of mucous membrane in the upper part of the cystic duct, arranged in a somewhat spiral manner. Synonym: plica spiralis ductus cystici, Amussat's valve, Heister's valve, spiral valve of cystic duct, valvula spiralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crista spiralis | The thickened periosteal lining of the bony cochlea forming the outer wall of the cochlear duct to which the basal lamina attaches. Synonym: crista spiralis, ligamentum spirale cochleae, spiral crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominentia spiralis | A projecting portion of the spiral ligament of the cochlea, bounding the lower edge of the stria vascularis and containing within it a blood vessel, the vas prominens. Synonym: prominentia spiralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus spiralis externus | A concavity in the outer wall of the cochlear duct between the prominentia spiralis and the spiral organ. Synonym: sulcus spiralis externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
