Notes:
The position of the inner ear and its relation to surrounding structures in the fetal head is ascertained. The growth and shape change of the cochlea is followed and measured. The change in size and appearance of the ductus cochlearis has been followed througout the various fetal stages. The growth and development of the scala vestibuli and scala tympani have been noted. The size and shape of the cells of the organs of Corti and the development and attachments of the tectorial membrane have been measured. The growth and developmental relationships of the tunnel of Corti have been followed. The growth and time of appearance of the organs with their relationship to hearing have been treated. The type of cell structure and the various structural changes throughout the development have been noted and correlated with the growth and size of the structure as a whole. The repidity of growth of all separate parts has been correlated and united to show the extent of development of the newborn rat inner ear.
