A Clinically Oriented Introduction and Review on Finite Element Models of the Human Cochlea

Figure 1

Human OC (approximately 12 mm from base). The osseous spiral lamina stops at the level of the insertion of the RM to the spiral limbus and is not in contact with the inner pillar. Thus, the OC rests entirely on the membranous spiral lamina (inner pilar) and the BM (specimen no. 280L, 10x, Human Temporal Bone Collection, UCL Ear Institute).
