Inner Ear

The Inner Ear is a labyrinth located in the bone capsule inside the temporal bone of the skull. The labyrinth consists of the membranous labyrinth and the bony labyrinth.

The membranous labyrinth includes the cochlea, the vestibule and three semicircular canals. The cochlea is responsible for hearing, while the vestibule and semicircular canals are responsible for the vestibular apparatus, which maintains balance.

The bony labyrinth is a system of bony canals within the temporal bone that surround the membranous labyrinth. It protects and supports the fragile structures of the membranous labyrinth.

The blood supply to the inner ear is through the labyrinthine artery, and innervation is through the vestibulocochlear nerve.

Thus, the inner ear, or labyrinth, plays an important role in hearing and maintaining balance. Damage to the structures of the inner ear can lead to hearing problems and balance problems.

The internal ear, or inner part of the ear, is a complex complex of cavities and canals located in the pyramid of the temporal bone. The inner ear consists of two sections - the membranous labyrinth and the bony labyrinth.

The membranous labyrinth is filled with endolymph and includes the vestibule, three semicircular canals and the cochlea. The vestibule and semicircular canals are responsible for the vestibular apparatus, and the cochlea is responsible for the organ of hearing (organ of Cortev).

The bone labyrinth is a system of bone canals and cavities inside the pyramid of the temporal bone, which contains the membranous labyrinth.

Thus, the inner ear performs two main functions - vestibular (the organ of balance) and auditory (the perception of sounds). Proper functioning of the inner ear is critical for the normal functioning of the human body.
