It is much more important, however, as it differsgreatly in the character and arrangement of the complex structures con-tained within a portion of its space, which are known as the organ ofCorti. This organ presents a slight elevation upon the basilar membrane,and appears to be a modification of the lining epithelium following thespiral turns of the membrane throughout its course, whence it wasformerly called the papilla spiralis acoustica.
