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.he semicircular canals in the inner ear are part of our balance system.

The Organ of Corti is the sensory receptor inside the cochlea which holds the hair cells, the nerve receptors for hearing.
Maintaining balance depends on information received by the brain from three peripheral sources: eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (Figure 1). All three of these information sources send signals to the brain in the form of nerve impulses from special nerve endings called sensory receptors. Figure 1. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems. Input from the eyes. Sensory receptors in the retina are called rods and cones.
