For the most part the Ear does not contain any fluid, the Outer and Middle Ear are air filled this is why we have the pharyngotympanic tube. The inner ear however is very complicated and difficult to explain. It has two Labyrinths, the Bony Labyrinth and, suspended within the bony labyrinth, the Memranous Labarynth. These labyrinths make up the shapes most people know as the Cochlea and the Semi-Circular Canals (both labyrinth types are present in each). The membranous labarynth contains a fluid called Endolymph and the Bony cavity contains a similar fluid called Perilymph.

Which structure of the human ear is filled with fluid and lined with tiny hair lines?

The cochlea is the structure of the human ear that is filled with fluid and lined with tiny hair cells. These hair cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain for processing.


Can you see fluid in ear?

The fluids in the ear are the very way in which we hear. Hearing is broken down when sound waves (noise) enters through the ear and structure like the anvil and hammer. These structures vibrate and send vibrations down to a fluid filled pool that vibrates the fluid. The vibrating waves of the fluid are intercepted by microscopic hairs called cilia (most likely that is the scientific name). These cilia read and transform these vibrations into neurological signals that are then sent to the brain and interpreted.


What part of the ear filled with fluid?

The vestibular sacs in your ears are filled with fluid, and the movement of fluid allows your "vestibular sense" to determine where your head is, and thus your general body position.


What is the scientific name for middle ear infection?

The scientific name for middle ear infection is otitis media. It is a common condition where the middle ear becomes inflamed and infected, often causing pain and fluid buildup behind the eardrum.


What happens to the mastoid when the middle ear retains fluid?

The mastoid is connected with the middle ear, so that when there is a collection of fluid in the middle ear, there is usually also a slight collection of fluid within the airspaces of the mastoid.

Name two types of fluid found in the ear?

There are two different types of fluid that are found inside the ear. Specifically, there is endolymphatic fluid in the cochlea and perilymphatic fluid found around the hair cells in the inner ear.

What organs of the body involved in the sense of balance?

The ear is responsible for a human's sense of balance. Balance is basically determined by the amount of fluid found in one's inner ear.


Where in the human body can you find the cochlea?

The cochlea is located at the end of the ear canal - inside the ear. It contains fluid and microscopic hairs (cilia). Sound waves received by the ear causes movement of the cilia - which is interpreted by the brain.


What is the techinical name for the crystals suspended in fluid of inner ear?

The technical name for the crystals suspended in fluid in the inner ear is "otoconia" or "otoliths". These crystals help in detecting changes in head position and movement to maintain balance and spatial orientation.
