14 maj 2024 · The inner ear (aka labyrinth) is the deepest part of the ear and plays an essential role in hearing and balance. It contains the cochlea , a snail-shaped bony structure filled with fluid. As sound waves travel from the outer to the inner ear, they create waves in the inner ear fluid of the cochlea.
30 paź 2023 · The inner ear is embedded within the petrous part of the temporal bone, anterolateral to the posterior cranial fossa, with the medial wall of the middle ear, the promontory, serving as its lateral wall. The internal ear is comprised of a bony and a membranous component.
14 gru 2022 · The inner ear is located within the petrous part of the temporal bone. It lies between the middle ear and the internal acoustic meatus, which lie laterally and medially respectively. The inner ear has two main components - the bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth.
An otolith (Greek: ὠτο-, ōto-ear + λῐ́θος, líthos, a stone), also called statoconium, otoconium or statolith, is a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule or utricle of the inner ear, specifically in the vestibular system of vertebrates.
