Explanation:

• Question 11: The basilar membrane is a key structure in the cochlea that supports the spiral organ (organ of Corti), which is responsible for transducing sound vibrations into neural signals.
• Question 12: The conjunctiva is a transparent mucous membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelid and the anterior part of the sclera.
• Question 13: The adrenal gland is a pyramid - shaped gland. It has two main parts: the adrenal medulla (derived from neural crest cells) and the adrenal cortex (endocrine secretory cells).

Answer:

• Question 11: spiral organ
• Question 12: conjunctiva
• Question 13: adrenal gland
