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.
Endolymph is located within the membranous labyrinth (internal ear) which is housed by the osseous labyrinth of the temporal bone.the membranous labyrinth.
Damage to the labyrinth, or the small, fluid-filled structure found in the inner ear that helps control balance, is generally the reason for dizziness.
endolymph, can also be called scarpa's fluid

The ossicles of the middle ear are positioned and connected by miniature ligaments, tendons, and joints. The cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibule of the inner ear are linked. They are all fluid filled, and encased and protected inside the thickness of the skulls temporal bone. Together they occupy the series of tunnels and chambers known as the osseous labyrinth.
