| 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) |

| vena aqueductus cochleae | It drains the cochlea, sacculus, and part of the utricules, and empties into the superior bulb of the jugular vein by accompanying the perilymphatic duct through the cochlear canaliculus. Synonym: vena aqueductus cochleae, vein of cochlear aqueduct, vena canaliculi cochleae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena canaliculi cochleae | It drains the cochlea, sacculus, and part of the utricules, and empties into the superior bulb of the jugular vein by accompanying the perilymphatic duct through the cochlear canaliculus. Synonym: vena aqueductus cochleae, vein of cochlear aqueduct, vena canaliculi cochleae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| columella cochleae | modiolus labii |
| crest of fenestrae cochleae | The edge of the opening of the cochlear window to which the secondary tympanic membrane is attached. Synonym: crista fenestrae cochleae, crest of cochlear opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crista fenestrae cochleae | The edge of the opening of the cochlear window to which the secondary tympanic membrane is attached. Synonym: crista fenestrae cochleae, crest of cochlear opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cupula cochleae | The domelike apex of the cochlea. Synonym: cupula cochleae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hamulus cochleae | The upper hooklike termination of the bony spiral lamina at the apex of the cochlea. Synonym: hamulus laminae spiralis, hamulus cochleae, hook of spiral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuber cochleae | A rounded eminence on the labyrinthine wall of the middle ear, caused by the first coil of the cochlea. Synonym: promontorium cavi tympani, tuber cochleae, tympanic promontory. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fenestra cochleae | An opening on the medial wall of the middle ear leading into the cochlea, closed in life by the secondary tympanic membrane. Synonym: cochlear window, fenestra of the cochlea, fenestra rotunda, round window. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossula fenestrae cochleae | A depression on the medial wall of the middle ear which has the fenestra cochleae (round window) in its lower portion. Synonym: fossula rotunda, little fossa of the cochlear window. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum spirale cochleae | An alternate term for spiral ligament of cochlea, spiral ligament of cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alar lamina of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basal lamina of choroid | The transparent, nearly structureless inner layer of the choroid in contact with the pigmented layer of the retina. Synonym: basal lamina of choroid, basal layer of choroid, Bruch's membrane, Henle's membrane, lamina vitrea, vitreous lamella, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
