## cochlea_unrolled_wave.jpg

The image is a detailed diagram illustrating the structure of the cochlea, which is part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. The diagram includes labels pointing out various parts of the cochlea.

1. **Cochlear Base**: This is the starting point at one end of the spiral-shaped cochlea.
2. **Basilar Membrane**: A thin membrane that runs along the length of the cochlea, dividing it into two compartments and playing a crucial role in sound detection.
3. **Unrolled Cochlea**: The diagram shows an unrolled version of the cochlea to provide a clearer view of its structure.

The image also includes a small figure of a person who appears to be interacting with or observing the cochlea. This figure is green and positioned near the base of the cochlea, suggesting they might be examining it closely. The background is mostly white, which helps in highlighting the details of the cochlea and labels. There are no other significant elements or text beyond what has been described.

The diagram is educational, likely used to explain how sound waves travel through the ear and stimulate the basilar membrane to produce neural signals that the brain interprets as sound.
