Organ vestibulocochlear

The vestibulocochlear organ (organ of hearing and balance) is a complex anatomical organ that is responsible for the perception of sound signals and the orientation of the body in space. It consists of two parts - the vestibule and the cochlea. The vestibule is the first section of the hearing organ and is a small space in front of the cochlea, which is filled with fluid and contains receptors responsible for determining the direction of sound. The cochlea, in turn, is the second section of the organ and consists of a spiral tube filled with liquid and receptors that are responsible for converting sound waves into electrical impulses.

The vestibulocochlear organ plays an important role in human life, as it provides orientation in space and helps determine the direction of sound. Impaired functioning of the hearing organ can lead to loss of orientation in space, hearing impairment and other health problems. That is why it is important to monitor the health of your hearing organ and undergo regular examinations with a doctor.

The vestibulocochlear organ (organ of hearing and balance) is a paired organ of hearing located in the pyramids of the temporal bones and the ear labyrinth. It is a system of formations that jointly participate in the formation of pitch perceptions. The organ of hearing includes the auditory ossicles - the hammer, incus and stirrup, which transmit sound vibrations, as well as the external, middle and internal ear canals, which are parts of the ear canal. Their coordinated contraction serves as the basis for the emergence of sound vibrations of various frequencies in the outer ear, the tympanic cavity of the middle ear and the Eustachian tube of the middle ear, connecting the tympanic cavity with the pharyngeal cavity. Thus, sound pressure arises in the oral and nasal cavities (derived from the activity of the maxillopharyngeal and respiratory muscles associated with the oral and nasal cavities on the one hand, and the eardrums on the other).

Physiological functions of the organ of the vestibulocochlear canal. The evolutionarily established main function of the hearing organ is the adaptation of the body to changed environmental conditions. It is carried out on
