Structure of the hairs on cochlear sensory cells.
A study of cochlear sensory hairs has been made using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The structure of the hairs and the relation to the hair cells and to the tectorial membrane is described. A number of micrographs demonstrate both the inner structure of the hairs and their relation to the surrounding structures.
