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.

Sensory Receptors. Stimuli in the environment activate specialized receptor cells in the peripheral nervous system. Different types of stimuli are sensed by different types of receptor cells. Receptor cells can be classified into types on the basis of three different criteria: cell type, position, and function.Receptors can be classified structurally on the basis of cell type and their position in relation to stimuli they sense. third classification of receptors is by how the receptor transduces stimuli into membrane potential changes. Stimuli are of three general types. Some stimuli are ions and macromolecules that affect transmembrane receptor proteins when these chemicals diffuse across the cell membrane.
