The semicircular canals, the vestibule, and the cochlea, which are subdivisions of the bony labyrinth. The semicircular canals and the vestibule contain receptors for equilibrium and the cochlea contains receptors for hearing.

∙ 13y agoThe outer bony labyrinth and an inner membranous labyrinth are the two main divisions. The semicircular canals, the vestibule, and the cochlea, which are subdivisions of the bony labyrinth. Semicircular canals and the vestibule contain receptors for equilibrium and the cochlea contains receptors for hearing.

∙ 14y agoThe structures that compose the internal ear are the liquid called perilymph, Suspended in the perilymph is the membranous labyrinth, which is filled with a more viscous flued called endolymph. The three subdivisions of the bony babyrinth are the cochlea, the vestibule and the semicurcular canals.

∙ 11y agoThe inner ear contain parts that are for hearing and balance. This inner ear is also called the labyrinth and is in the temporal bone. This part is divided into three parts: the vestibule, semicircular canals, and the cochlea.
To further make it more complex: there is also a membranous labyrinth. This has three parts: the semicircular canals, the saccule and the utricle (as one), and the cochlear duct. The duct is the only part that is involved in hearing. This duct has a shelf. One half of the duct is called the scala vestibuli and the half is called the scala tympani. It really helps to use a picture or a diagram if you have to learn these parts.
There is also the Organ of Corti in the cochlear duct which is actually involved in hearing.
There are tiny otoliths (ear stones) in the parts that are involved in balance.

What are the structures of equiloibrium?
The ears help with balance. The structures of the ear that help with keeping an equilibrium is the inner ear. The inner ear is responsible for hearing and balance.
Structures in the inner ear help control the sense of?
your sense of balance

Which of these is not located in the middle ear vestibule cochlea auricle and stapes?
Locations of the list of structures in this question:vestibule: inner earcochlea: inner earauricle: outer earstapes/stirrup: middle ear
What structures are common to the hearing and equilibrium functions of the Inner Ear?
The vestibulocochlear nerve also known as the eighth cranial nerve transmits sound and equilibrium and is common to the hearing and equilibrium functions of the inner ear.
Where is the cochlea located in ear?
The cochlea is located in the inner ear, in contact with the latter part of the 3 small bone structures that constitute the middle ear (the stirrup, hammer and anvil.)
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
It is in the inner ear that we find the structures that translate the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses.
