What is the organ of hearing and balance?
The Organ of Corti (in the inner ear) rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.The inner ear includes the three semicircular canals. They (plus the base of each called the ampullaris) are involved in:1. Static Equilibrium in the ampulla which contains the sense for position of head when body is not moving.2. Dynamic Equilibrium in the semicircular canals which senses rotation and movement of head and body.The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes.
