Microcirculation to the organ of Corti resembles that in terminal capillaries of other parts of the body, but in this case, because of the limited number of vessels, cessation of flow becomes important to the function of the organ of Corti. Motion picture analysis at rapid-framing rates reveals the flow pattern and its relation to the structures of the basilar membrane and tunnel of Corti. These are to be presented with an interpretation of the significance of this capillary circulation.
