vestibular membrane of cochlear duct - CISMeF
Vestibular membrane of cochlear ductUBERON concept
Preferred Label : vestibular membrane of cochlear duct;
Uberon definition : A membrane inside the cochlea of the inner ear. It separates scala media from scala
vestibuli. Together with the basilar membrane it creates a compartment in the cochlea
filled with endolymph, which is important for the function of the organ of Corti.
It primarily functions as a diffusion barrier, allowing nutrients to travel from the
perilymph to the endolymph of the membranous labyrinth. Histologically, the membrane
is composed of two layers of flattened epithelium, separated by a basal lamina. Its
structure suggests that its function is transport of fluid and electrolytes.;
Uberon synonym : Reissner's membrane; vestibular membrane; vestibular wall of cochlear duct; superior wall of cochlear duct; Reissner membrane; paries vestibularis ductus cochlearis; vestibular membrane of Reissner; membrana vestibularis ductus cochlearis;
