Illustration of a hair cell in the human inner ear
Illustration of a single sensory " hair" cell of the organ of Corti, the sense organ of the cochlea in the human inner ear. The organ of Corti consists of rows of special sensory cells that convert sound signals into nerve impulses that are conducted to the brain via the cochlear nerve. The bundle of hairs (stereocilia) that point upwards from the cell body (at top left) are (in reality) in contact with a covering tectorial membrane. Various cell organelles are shown in the cell body & numerous nerve processes connect with the base of the cell

Auditory Sense Hearing Inner Ear Sensory Cell
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of a hair cell in the human inner ear. The organ of Corti, depicted here, is responsible for our auditory sense and plays a crucial role in converting sound signals into nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain through the cochlear nerve. The image highlights a single sensory "hair" cell with its bundle of upward-pointing hairs called stereocilia. These delicate structures, when in contact with the tectorial membrane (not shown), enable us to perceive various sounds accurately. The complexity of this microscopic world is revealed as numerous cell organelles can be observed within the cell body. Through this remarkable visual representation, we gain insight into the fascinating anatomy and functioning of our hearing mechanism. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are, allowing us to experience one of life's most beautiful gifts – sound. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library not only educates but also sparks curiosity about the wonders hidden within ourselves. As we marvel at this illustration, let us appreciate the incredible capabilities bestowed upon us by nature and science alike.
