1. Inside are hair cells and supporting cells known as the crista ampullaris. 2. They are the supporting cells of the hair cell area within the cochlea. 3. They are supporting cells for the auditory hair cells in the organ of Corti. 4. This glutamate affects nearby supporting cells , astrocytes, causing a change in calcium ion concentration. 5. Liquid from the support cell squirts through the supporting cell projecting the spore outwards. 6. Sclerenchyma cells are the principal supporting cells in plant tissues that have ceased elongation. 7. The 2 by 3 mm patch of hair cells and supporting cells are called a macula. 8. It is built of a hundred billion nerve cells sheathed and nourished by a trillion supporting cells . 9. Pillar cells are found in the organ of Corti and act as supporting cells for hair cells. 10. Supporting cells interdigitate between hair cells and secrete the otolithic membrane, a thick, gelatinous layer of glycoprotein.
