Cochlea

The cochlea is the auditory portion of the inner ear. Its core component is the Organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of the cochlea. Important to equilibrium.The name is from the Latin for snail, which is from the Greek kokhlias "snail, screw," from kokhlos "spiral shell," in reference to its coiled shape; the cochlea is coiled in most mammals, monotremes being the exceptions. (From the Wikpedia article Cochlea.)
