The inner ear is made up of the vestibule, the semicircular canals and the cochlea. The Vestibule is a chamber at the base of the semicircular canals. It it concerned with static equilibrium. The Semicircular canals are fluid-filled structures that provide information concerning dynamic equilibrium. The cochlea is a coiled tube within the inner ear that receives sound waves and converts them into nerve impulses.

The inner ear is made up of several structures including the cochlea, which is responsible for hearing, and the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. The cochlea contains tiny hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The vestibular system consists of three semicircular canals and otolithic organs that detect changes in head position and movement.
