vestibular membrane of cochlear duct |

| Synonyms |
vestibular membrane vestibular wall of cochlear duct membrana vestibularis ductus cochlearis superior wall of cochlear duct paries vestibularis ductus cochlearis vestibular membrane of Reissner Reissner membrane Reissner's membrane |
|
| Definitions |
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. |
