The inner ear contains the cochlea, which houses the organ of Corti. The organ of Corti contains inner and outer hair cells that transduce sound waves into electrochemical signals. Inner hair cells primarily transmit signals to the brain, while outer hair cells are innervated by efferent fibers that allow the brain to modulate cochlear activity. The complex structure and cell types of the cochlea enable the intricate process of hearing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Auditory transduction takes place in the
inner ear
Transduction refers to the
transformation of energy from one
form to another. In the case of the
ear, acoustic (mechanical) energy is
transformed to electrochemical
energy
6. •The vestibule and semicircular canals are concerned
with vestibular function (balance); the cochlea is
concerned with hearing. The cochlea is a coiled tube.
•The oval window and round window open into the
vestibule, at the base of the cochlea.
10. Reissner’s membrane and the basilar membrane divide
the cochlea longitudinally into three scalae. Movement
of the the basilar membrane by pressure changes
induced by stapes footplate motion at the oval window
is a critical step in the transduction process
12. Scala media is more or less triangular, formed by
Reissner’s membrane, basilar membrane and the
structure called the stria vascularis.
The fluid that fills scala tympani and scala vestibuli is
called perilymph; the fluid that fills scala media is
called endolymph.
The organ of Corti rests on the basilar membrane
within scala media.
13. Two types of cells in the organ of Corti are support
cells and hair cells. The hair cells are the “receptor”
cells-- the ones that transduce sound. Support cells
such as the Deiter’s cells support hair cells. The tops
of the hair cells and pillar cells form the reticular
lamina, which isolates the hair cells’ stereocilia from
their cell bodies. The tectorial membrane is loosely
coupled to the reticular lamina. Endolymph &
perilymph.
14. There are 4 rows of hair cells, one on the inner
(modiolar) side of the tunnel formed by the pillar
cells-- these are the inner hair cells; and 3 one the
outer side of the Tunnel of Corti, these are the outer
hair cells.
The Deiter’s cells support the Outer hair cells at their
base, but that the outer hair cell walls are surrounded
by fluid. The inner hair cell is surrounded by support
cells.
15. A closer look at the organ of Corti
From Pickles (1992)
16. Deiter’s cells
Deiter’s cell processes “fill in the gaps” between the tops of the outer hair cells to form the reticular lamina.
28. When the ear talks to the brain, which
hair cells are doing most of the talking?
A. Inner hair cells
B. Outer hair cells
29. When the brain talks to the ear, which hair
cells is it talking to the most?
A. Inner hair cells
B. Outer hair cells
30. Conclusions
• The cochlea contains an array of highly
specialized cells arranged in a highly
specialized manner.
• There are structural differences between
IHCs and OHCs that suggest that they differ
in function
• The cochlea not only sends a message to
the brain, but it may also receive messages
from the brain via efferent innervation.
Editor's Notes
The inner ear consists of a membranous “labyrinth” encased in an osseous labyrinth.
The vestibule and semicircular canals are concerned with vestibular function (balance); the cochlea is concerned with hearing. The cochlea is a coiled tube. Notice that the oval window and round window open into the vestibule, at the base of the cochlea.
The cochlear coil extends “up” from its base. It is coiled around the modiolus.
Reissner’s membrane and the basilar membrane divide the the cochlea longitudinally into three scalae. Movement of the the basilar membrane by pressure changes induced by stapes footplate motion at the oval window is a critical step in the transduction process
If you cut the cochlear tube cross sectionally, you’d see something like this. Scala vestibuli on top, scala tympani on the bottom. Scala media is a triangular duct in the middle. The process of transduction occurs in the structures within scala media, sitting on the basilar membrane -- these structures comprise the organ of Corti. The side of the duct where the nerve fibers exit (left in this picture) is the “inner” or “modiolar” side of the duct. The opposite side is the “outer” side.
Notice that scala media is more or less triangular, formed by Reissner’s membrane, basilar membrane and the structure called the stria vascularis. The fluid that fills scala tympani and scala vestibuli is called perilymph; the fluid that fills scala media is called endolymph. The organ of Corti rests on the basilar membrane within scala media.
Two types of cells in the organ of Corti are support cells and hair cells. The hair cells are the “receptor” cells-- the ones that transduce sound. Support cells such as the Deiter’s cells support hair cells. The tops of the hair cells and pillar cells form the reticular lamina, which isolates the hair cells’ stereocilia from their cell bodies.

Deiter’s cell processes “fill in the gaps” between the tops of the outer hair cells to form the reticular lamina.
Stereocilia on inner (left) and outer (right) hair cells. Stereocilia are arranged in curved or v-shaped rows that face toward the modiolus.
Nerve fibers exit the organ of Corti on the modiolar side.
In the auditory nerve, the dendrites contact the hair cells. The cell bodies form what is called the spiral ganglion, and the axons form the auditory nerve that connects the ear to the brainstem. The “contact” points between the dendrites and the hair cells or between the axons of one neuron and the dendrites of another are called synapses. Synapses have specialized structures and substances that allow communication between receptors and neurons or between neurons.
The cell bodies of the neurons that form the auditory nerve are located within the cochlear modiolus. The collection of cell bodies is called the spiral ganglion.
