Structure composing external ear?
Ear pinna, auditory canal and the eardrum.
Structures composing inner ear?
The semicircular canals, the vestibule, and the cochlea, which are subdivisions of the bony labyrinth. The semicircular canals and the vestibule contain receptors for equilibrium and the cochlea contains receptors for hearing.
Which part of the ear is responsible for equilibrium?
The hair cells within the vestibule and semicircular canals of the cochlea are responsible for both aspects of equilibrium (dynamic and static).Vestibular system
Where in the body is the labyrinth?
The earThe labyrinth can actually be found inside your ear. There are three sections of the ear. They are the outer ear (the part we see along the sides of our head.) The middle ear and the inner ear. But in terms of function, the ear has four parts: those three and the brain. This means that hearing involves all parts of the ear as well as the auditory cortex of the brain. The external ear helps concentrate the vibrations of air on the ear drum and make it vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted by a chain of little bones in the middle ear to the inner ear. There they stimulate the fibres of the auditory nerve to transmit impulses to the brain.The internal ear, where you will find the labyrinth, is a highly complex thing. The essential component of the inner ear for hearing is the membranous labyrinth where the fibres of the auditory nerve (the nerve connecting the ear to the brain) end. The membranous labyrinth is a system of communicating sacs and ducts (tubes) filled with fluid (the endolymph). The membranous labyrinth is lodged within a cavity called the bony labyrinth. At some points the membranous labyrinth is attached to the bony labyrinth and at other points the membranous labyrinth is suspended in a fluid (the perilymph) within the bony labyrinth.To make it even more confusing, the bony labyrinth has three parts: a central cavity, semicircular canals, and the cochlea.Inner ear
What part of the ear helps keep you balanced?
The semi-circular canal helps your balance of your body.
Structure composing external ear?
Ear pinna, auditory canal and the eardrum.
Central part of the bony labyrinth?
vestibule
What occurs in the coclea of the ear?
A division of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear coiled into the form of a snail shell and consisting of a spiral canal in the petrous part.
Structures composing inner ear?
The semicircular canals, the vestibule, and the cochlea, which are subdivisions of the bony labyrinth. The semicircular canals and the vestibule contain receptors for equilibrium and the cochlea contains receptors for hearing.
What is the labyrinth?
a tortuous anatomical structure; especially : the inner ear or its bony or membranous part -- see BONY LABYRINTH, MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH ; the cavity in the petrous portion of the temporal bone that contains the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear -- called also osseous labyrinth
What part of the brain is responsible for balancing?
the cerebellum is responsible for balacing
If your cannot keep your balance what part of your brain might be responsible?
semicircular canal... APEX:)!
Which part of the ear is responsible for equilibrium?
The hair cells within the vestibule and semicircular canals of the cochlea are responsible for both aspects of equilibrium (dynamic and static).Vestibular system

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.
What is the form or function of the utricle?
a small anatomical pouch: as a : the part of the membranous labyrinth of the ear into which the semicircular canals open -- called also utriculus b : PROSTATIC UTRICLE
What part of the ear helps keep you balanced?
The semi-circular canal helps your balance of your body.
