The limbus spiralis and its relationship to the developing tectorial membrane in the cochlear duct of the Guinea pig fetus

The limbus spiralis and its relationship to the developing tectorial membrane in the cochlear duct of the Guinea pig fetus

L Thorn et al. Anat Embryol (Berl). .

Abstract

The development of the interdental cells of the limbus spiralis and of the inner spiral sulcus cells as well as the formation of the mesenchymal teeth of Huschke are described during fetal life up to the day of birth in the guinea pig. Additionally, the changes of the developing tectorial membrane are studied. The ultrastructural observations allow the conclusion that during fetal development at least a considerable part of the material of the tectorial membrane is secreted by the interdental cells of the limbus spiralis.
