Semi-thin section of the developing OC. (a) At GW16, the organ of Corti has four rows of outer hair cells (OHC), inner hair cells (arrowhead) and the cytoarchitecture of the Stria vascularis (Stv) is well developed. b The spiral ganglion has a lone satellite glial cell (b arrow) encapsulating it at this stage. c At GW21, the organ of Corti (c) is well formed and functional with outer hair cells (OHC) and inner hair cells (arrowheads) visible. Three to four satellite glial cells (d open arrows) encapsulating the spiral ganglion cells (d arrows) is evident at this stage. Scale bars = 50 μm
