The organ of Corti lies within the middle chamber of the cochlea. It contains
thousands of hair cells, which are the actual vibration receptors. Theapical
surface of the hair cells contains an array of stereocilia, which give the hair
cells their name. Stereocilia are not built from the "9+2" arrangement of
microtubules that are found in true cilia.

The hair cells are located between the basilar and tectorial membranes.
Vibrations of the endolymph cause vibrations of the basilar membrane. This
moves stereocilia at the tips of the hair cells against the tectorial membrane
and open potassium channels in them. The influx of K+ from the endolymph
depolarizes the cell.

Depolarization of the hair cell causes the release of a neurotransmitter

(probably glutamate) at its basal surface and the initiation of nerve impulses in
a sensory neuron that synapses with it. These impulses travel back along
the auditory nerve (the 8th cranial nerve) to the brain.
