Figure 3. Deiters’ cell phalangeal processes are planar polarized along the longitudinal axis of the cochlea.

Figure 3.

A) Diagram depicting one Deiters’ cell (green) that extends a slanted phalangeal process towards the luminal surface further towards the cochlear apex compared to its cell body position. B) A maximum-intensity projection of confocal Z stacks of a P18 cochlea whole-mount stained for F-actin (magenta) and alpha-tubulin (green). Note the planar polarized phalangeal processes of the three rows of Deiters’ cells (arrowheads). Arrows indicate the direction of the cochlear apex.
