Figure 108. — Normal anatomy of the Otic system. Normal histology of one turn of a midmodiolar section of the chinchilla cochlea. SV = Scala vestibuli; ST = Scala tympani; SM = Scala media; SL = Spiral ligament; LS = Limbus spiralis; StV = Stria vascularis; RM = Reissner’s membrane; SG = Spiral ganglion; CN = Cochlear nerve; TB = Tympanic bulla lumen. The scala vestibuli and scala tympani contain perilymph and are continuous with each other at the apex of the cochlea. The scala media contains endolymph. The tympanic bulla space is normally air-filled. The hair cells (see Figure 127 for higher magnification) are located in the center of the field to the right of the limbus spiralis.
