What is the inner ear also called?
The scientific name for the inner ear is labyrinth. It is divided into two main parts which are membranous labyrinth and bony labyrinth.
What is the membranous labyrinth?
It is a membranous organ in the inner ear.
What is the boundary between the middle and inner ear?
The tympanic membrane or ear drum and the external auditory meatus
What is the only tube in the middle ear?
The ear has three chambers: outer, middle and inner ears.Outer ear: pinna/auricle, auditory canal, tympanic membraneMiddle ear: tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window and auditory tubeInner ear: oval window, cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals & auditory nerveSound waves travel into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane.The tympanic membrane vibrates.Sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the ossicles to the oval window.Vibrations are transferred to fluid environment of the inner ear, converted into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation.
How does the movement of fluids help organisms to hear?
In the ear structure there are hollow channels in the inner ear which contain fluid. The outer ear receives pressurised sound waves from the external environment, they are carried to the inner ear and causing ripples in the fluid, tiny hair cells detect this and carry the signal to the brain via the auditory nerve. This is then interpreted by the brain and the sound is "heard" by the organism.

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

it is in the cochlea of the inner ear
What other name is the inner ear known as?
Inner ear or internal ear is also called the labyrinth.
What part of the body is a labyrinth?
The inner ear.
What Structures comprise the bony labyrinth?
If you mean in the inner ear, the cochlea which contains the Organ of Corti, and endolyph and perilymph, also the 3 semicircles of the labyrinth - the ampulla, the utriculus and the sacculus. Also the auditory nerve or VIIIth nerve
What is a chohlea?
is the auditory portion of the ear. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth.
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
Where are the anatomical structures of the labyrinth located?
In the inner ear.
What is the membranous labyrinth?
It is a membranous organ in the inner ear.
What is the term meaning the surgical removal of the labyrinth of the inner ear?
Labyrinthectomy is surgical removal of the labyrinth.
What connects the tympanic membrane to the inner ear?
auditory ossicles
