Macrophages in the human cochlear lateral wall are morphologically diverse. A whole mount preparation of the SV and SpL in the basal turn of the cochlea from a 57-year old donor (H106) was stained for IBA1 (green). The low magnification image on the left maps the suprastrial (I), strial (II), and substrial (III) regions of the lateral wall where the images were acquired. Macrophages in the SV have a stellate appearance with thin processes, while the macrophages of the suprastrial (I) and substrial (III) regions of the SpL exhibit a bipolar morphology.
