What is the inner ear also called?
The scientific name for the inner ear is labyrinth. It is divided into two main parts which are membranous labyrinth and bony labyrinth.
What are the auditory fluids in the labyrinth of the inner ear?
it is the endolymph
What is the membranous labyrinth?
It is a membranous organ in the inner ear.
Is it possible for the liquid in your inner ear to escape through your ear canal?
No, the liquid in your inner ear, known as endolymph, is contained within a structure called the labyrinth and does not escape through the ear canal. If you experience drainage from your ear, it may be due to another issue such as earwax build-up, infection, or a perforated eardrum.
What are the three layers of the inner ear?
The three layers of the inner ear are the bony labyrinth, the membranous labyrinth, and the endolymphatic space. The bony labyrinth provides structural support, the membranous labyrinth contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance, and the endolymphatic space contains fluid that helps with sensory perception of sound and balance.
What is the labyrinth?
a tortuous anatomical structure; especially : the inner ear or its bony or membranous part -- see BONY LABYRINTH, MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTH ; the cavity in the petrous portion of the temporal bone that contains the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear -- called also osseous labyrinth

The bony labyrinth refers to the system of bony cavities in the inner ear that house the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals.

Where in the body is the labyrinth?
The earThe labyrinth can actually be found inside your ear. There are three sections of the ear. They are the outer ear (the part we see along the sides of our head.) The middle ear and the inner ear. But in terms of function, the ear has four parts: those three and the brain. This means that hearing involves all parts of the ear as well as the auditory cortex of the brain. The external ear helps concentrate the vibrations of air on the ear drum and make it vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted by a chain of little bones in the middle ear to the inner ear. There they stimulate the fibres of the auditory nerve to transmit impulses to the brain.The internal ear, where you will find the labyrinth, is a highly complex thing. The essential component of the inner ear for hearing is the membranous labyrinth where the fibres of the auditory nerve (the nerve connecting the ear to the brain) end. The membranous labyrinth is a system of communicating sacs and ducts (tubes) filled with fluid (the endolymph). The membranous labyrinth is lodged within a cavity called the bony labyrinth. At some points the membranous labyrinth is attached to the bony labyrinth and at other points the membranous labyrinth is suspended in a fluid (the perilymph) within the bony labyrinth.To make it even more confusing, the bony labyrinth has three parts: a central cavity, semicircular canals, and the cochlea.Inner ear

Does mouth infection make you sick and feel dizzy?
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.
What is the term meaning the surgical removal of the labyrinth of the inner ear?
Labyrinthectomy is surgical removal of the labyrinth.
Where in the body would you find the labyrinth?
