Auditory nerve, Membrana tectoria. of the membrane thus produced are transmitted with dimi- nished amplitude but increased force by the chain of ossicles to the fenestra ovalis, where they are communicated to the perilymph. The vibrations travel in the perilymph from the vestibule to the scala vestibuli, up the turns of the cochlea to the helicotrema, and then back again along the scala tympani,.
