Description: Pressure waves travel from the scala vestibuli to the vestibular membrane to the endolymph of the cochlear duct.
The basilar membrane vibrates. This moves the hair cells of the spiral organ (organ of Corti) against the tectorial membrane. These cells generate nerve impulses in cochlear nerve fibers.
