inner ear









































the inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear. in vertebrates, the inner ear is mainly responsible for sound detection and balance. in mammals, it consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts:









































bullet::::- the cochlea, dedicated to hearing; converting sound pressure patterns from the outer ear into electrochemical impulses which are passed on to the brain via the auditory nerve.

inner ear
the inner ear is primarily responsible for balance, equilibrium and orientation in three-dimensional space. the inner ear can detect both static and dynamic equilibrium. three semicircular ducts and two chambers, which contain the saccule and utricle, enable the body to detect any deviation from equilibrium. the macula sacculi detects vertical acceleration while the macula utriculi is responsible for horizontal acceleration. these microscopic structures possess stereocilia and one kinocilium which are located within the gelatinous otolithic membrane. the membrane is further weighted with otoliths. movement of the stereocilia and kinocilium enable the hair cells of the saccula and utricle to detect motion. the semicircular ducts are responsible for detecting rotational movement.
