Fig. 2From: Morphology and morphometry of the inner ear of the dromedary camel and their influence on the efficiency of hearing and equilibriumA. Plastic cast of the camel labyrinth showing the spiral turns of the cochlea as viewed from the apex. The number of quarter-turns within the spiral might be counted by counting the number of times the spiral path intersected the two-plane containing the projection line and therefore the central axis of the spiral. B The cross-section in the camel cochlea after decalcification shows the height and width of the cochlea. A. Facial nerve, B. Cochlear nerve, C. Modiolus, D. Helicotrema, E. Spiral ligament, F.
