Table 1. Summary of Measurements in 7 Cochleae.

Data collected in 7 cochleae indicate relatively large intersubject variability in OC and SG lengths, but a fairly consistent ratio between the lengths of the two structures. Dissection error resulted in damage to the basal SG in specimen 6R and precluded measuring SG length. The marker in the stria vascularis for V was lost during processing of the cochlea and could not be identified in specimen 14R.
