Two sections of this organ are separated by Reissner's membrane, transport through which is disrupted in Meniere's disease.
Two sections of this organ are separated by Reissner's membrane, transport through which is disrupted in Meniere's disease. One end of it contains a hole called the helicotrema, and the fluid in its scala vestibuli is about 90 mV more positive than the endolymph in the scalia media. Its inner segment contains the Organ of Corti, and it opens into another compartment via the round window and the oval window, the latter of which is in contact with the footplate of the stapes. FTP, name this organ enervated by the eighth cranial nerve, a snail-like structure located in the inner ear.
