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 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
Central part of the bony labyrinth?
vestibule
Where are the saccule and utricle located?
The saccule and utricle are parts of the inner ear. They're in the bony labyrinth of the vestibule.
Structure composing the internal ear?
The bony labyrinth that is comprised of two functional parts: the cochlea for hearing, and the vestibular system for balance. The internal, or inner, ear consists pf a system of bony and rather tortuous chambers called the osseous, or bony, labyrinth, which is filled with an aqueous fluid called perilymph.
The portion of the bony labyrinth responsible for static equilibrium is the?
vestibule
The bony labyrinth is another name for the structure called?
inner ear
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 is a chohlea?
is the auditory portion of the ear. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth.
3 structures composing the bony or osseous labyrinth?
