elongated supporting cells of the organ of Corti with bases that rest on the basilar membrane adjacent to the pillar cells. Inner phalangeal cells are arranged in a row on the inner surface of the inner pillar cells and surround the inner hair cells; outer phalangeal cells (or Deiters cells) support the outer hair cells.
