Popis: Scala vestibuli and scala tympani are connected at the cochlear apex via an opening known as the helicotrema. The apical portion of the cochlea has a complex and variable three-dimensional anatomy. Structural variations in the helicotrema area may contribute to functional differences in low-frequency hearing sensitivity among individuals.
