The Inner Ear. Parts of the Ear: Outer Ear | Middle Ear | Inner Ear. The inner ear contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance. The cochlea is the hearing part of the inner ear. The semicircular canals in the inner ear are part of our balance system. The cochlea is a bony structure shaped like a snail and filled with two fluids (endolymph and perilymph). The Organ of Corti is the sensory receptor inside the cochlea which holds the hair cells, the nerve receptors for hearing.
Organ of Corti. (inside cochlea) organ located in the cochlea; contains receptors (hair cells) that receive vibrations and generate nerve impulses for hearing -------sense organ of hearing; runs along length of basilar membrane; consists of hair and support cells that react to the traveling wave. î î î.----- Sensorineural deafness: caused by the impairment if hair cells in the cochlea or damage of the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve. -------Conduction deafness: caused by impairment of the outer and middle ear mechanisms for transmitting sounds to the cochlea.
