Vertical trajectory of different scalae tympani (ST). Relative position (relative to round window [RW]) of the largest circle's vertical coordinate (z-axis) is plotted (black line) against the distance along the ST (starting from the inferior edge of the RW). The orange lines mark the limits (i.e., the diameter) of the different ST. Bottom right: Schematic representation of a cochlea to visualize the angular position for each characteristic point in individual cochleae.
