Expert Answer
Cochlea is a spiral organ of two and a half turns. Its inner winding cavity is divided into three parallel canals separated by membranes.
1. Vestibular canal: It is filled with perilymph.
2. Median canal: It is filled with endolymph. It also contains sense cells also known as spiral organ or organ of Corti for hearing. Nerve fibres arising from these cells join the auditory nerve.
3. Tympanal canal: It is filled with perilymph.
