description

The canalicular spiral system derives from the epithelium of the outer spiral sulcus and extends towards the prominence and the spiral ligament. The comparison between the development of the canalicular spiral system and that of other cochlear structures induces the author to con-firm what he suggested in 1949 about the secreting modality of the cochlear endolymph.
