Cochlea: innervation

Vibrations of the eardrum continue through the incus and malleus to the stapes and oval window, creating waves in the perilymph of the vestibule and into scala vestibuli. Resulting depression of the vestibular and basilar membranes causes movement of hair cell receptors embedded in the tectorial membrane. Subsequent nerve impulses travel to the spiral ganglia and to the cochlear division of CN VIII.
