What are the three spaces that inner ear are consists in?
vestibule,semicircular canals and the cochlea
Which activity best describes the function of the inner ear?
The inner ear comprise of three intimately related structures - the cochlea (spiral tube), three semicircular canals and the vestibule (labyrinth). The cochlea is directly responsible for hearing and contains nerves responsible for converting energy vibrations within the inner ear fluid into nerve impulses which can be transmitted to the brain. While the vestibule (labyrinth) and semicircular canals function to maintain balance or equilibrium.
What does the semicircular canals send impulses to?
cerebellum
What depends on your sense of balance?
semicircular canals
What is a swollen enlargement in the semicircular canals?
ampulla
Where are the sensory receptors of the semicircular canals located?
Both of these are in the ear. The semi-circular canals help you to balance and the cochlea transmits nerve signals to the brain. This is how you hear. The inner ear is subdivided into the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The semicircular canals and cochlea are separate structures with different functions. The receptors for balance are in the semicircular canals, and the organ of Corti (the organ of hearing) is in the cochlea.
What contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium?
The semicircular canals and the vestible are responsible for balance.
Which part of the ear is the semicircular canals and cochlea?
The internal ear.
What is the structure composing the internal ear?
The semicircular canals, the vestibule, and the cochlea, which are subdivisions of the bony labyrinth. Semicircular canals and the vestibule contain receptors for equilibrium and the cochlea contains receptors for hearing.
What are the three main scetions of the ear?
(semicircular canals, vestibule, and cochlea) ;]
What is the central cavity of the labyrinth connecting the cochlea and the semicircular canals?
vestibule
What are the parts in the inner ear?
- Semicircular canals - Auditory nerve - Cochlea
What is located across from the oval window between the semicircular canals and the cochlea?
vestibule
What are the three spaces that inner ear are consists in?
vestibule,semicircular canals and the cochlea
What part of the ear is situated between the semicircular canals and the cochlea?
A small, oval chamber called the vestibule lies between the semicircular canals and the cochlea. It contains the utricle and the saccule along with parts of the vestibular labyrinth. An oval window is on its lateral wall.
Is the semicircular canal part of the bony labyrinth?
The Bony labyrinth or osseous labyrinth consists of three parts: the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea.
Which parts of the cochlea are responsible for sensing angular acceleration?
The semicircular canals are responsible for dynamic equilibrium and more specifically angular acceleration. The anterior, posterior, and lateral semicircular ducts are the specific canals which detect rotational movements.
