Preferred Label : hair cells, auditory;
MeSH definition : Sensory cells in the organ of Corti, characterized by their apical stereocilia (hair-like
projections). The inner and outer hair cells, as defined by their proximity to the
core of spongy bone (the modiolus), change morphologically along the COCHLEA. Towards
the cochlear apex, the length of hair cell bodies and their apical STEREOCILIA increase,
allowing differential responses to various frequencies of sound.;
MeSH synonym : hair cell, auditory; auditory hair cell; auditory hair cells; Cochlear Hair Cells; Cell, Cochlear Hair; Cells, Cochlear Hair; Cochlear Hair Cell; Hair Cell, Cochlear; Hair Cells, Cochlear;
