Both of these are in the ear. The semi-circular canals help you to balance and the cochlea transmits nerve signals to the brain. This is how you hear.

The inner ear is subdivided into the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The semicircular canals and cochlea are separate structures with different functions. The receptors for balance are in the semicircular canals, and the organ of Corti (the organ of hearing) is in the cochlea.

Are semicircular canals the same as semicircular ducts?

No. Semicircular canals are located in the vestibule of the ear and are membranous that contain receptor cells; semicircular ducts house dynamic equilibrium receptors and contain an enlarged region and a receptor region and that respond to angular motion.

What contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium?

The inner ear contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium. These receptors are found in structures called the vestibular system, which helps us maintain balance and spatial orientation. The vestibular system provides information to the brain about head movements and position.


What is the structure composing the internal ear?

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.

Where do the semicircular canals meet?

The semicircular canals are three loops of interconnected canals within the inner ear which are responsible for detecting angular acceleration. The three canals are the superior posterior and lateral canals. These canals meet at the common crus or the ampulla. Superior semicircular canal Posterior semicircular canal Lateral semicircular canalThe three canals meet at the common crus or the ampulla. The ampulla is a small pouch-like structure that contains a fluid known as the endolymph. The ampulla is located at the base of the semicircular canals and serves as a sensory organ for maintaining balance and equilibrium.

Which structure has sensory receptors stimulated by rotational or angular movements?

Semicircular canals, filled with fluid, are involved in dynamic equilibrium. The tubes are oriented in three planes: horizontal, frontal, and sagittal. They respond to changes in the position of the head.
