The vestibule is the central part of the bony labyrinth in the inner ear, and is situated medial to the eardrum, behind the cochlea, and in front of the three semicircular canals. (wikipedia.org)
Internal liquid structures of the cochlea and semicircular ducts, vestibule at centre. (wikipedia.org)
The vestibule and semicircular canals sense the motion of the endolymph with specialized hair cells and assess the bodies position with respect to gravity. (kenyon.edu)
The superior semi-circular canal on left side was not completely formed and small deformity was seen along the superior aspect of vestibule suggestive of Superior semicircular canal (SCC) anlage. (eurorad.org)
CT and MRI should be done and may be normal or demonstrate labyrinthitis, inflammation, or calcification of the semicircular canals, vestibule, or cochlea. (msdmanuals.com)
whilst laterally it forms part of the medial wall of the tympanum, surrounds the fenestra vestibuli, and encloses within its substance portions of the cochlea, vestibule, and superior semicircular canal. (co.ma)
From this go out on the upper side the semi-circular canals (x,y,z) and on the lower side of the passages of the cochlea (k). (usf.edu)
The vestibule (labyrinth) and semi-circular canals function are to maintain balance or equilibrium. (earguru.in)
A spiral cutaway of the cochlea shows its three canals in contrasting colors to teach the concept of pitch. (denoyer.com)
The vestibule is a chamber between the canals and the cochlea. (ency123.com)
The spiral-shaped cochlea is comprised of three canals (scala) wrapped around the bony axis (the modiolus): the scala media (or cochlear duct), scala vestibule, and scala tympani. (justfactsllc.com)
These two canals connect at the apex (opening) of the cochlea at the helicotrema. (justfactsllc.com)

of the vestibule and the scala vestibuli. (britannica.com)
Labyrinth4
The cochlea, which houses the sensory organ for hearing, consists of a triangular-shaped, fluid-filled channel, the membranous labyrinth, that is housed within the bony labyrinth (otic capsule). (cdc.gov)
The membranous labyrinth spirals around a central bony canal, the modiolus, that contains the auditory division of the vestibulocochlear nerve (i.e., 8th cranial) and blood vessels to the cochlea. (cdc.gov)
They are set at right angles to each other and are situated posterosuperior to the vestibule of the bony labyrinth (VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH). (lookformedical.com)
The so-called bony labyrinth includes the scalae vestibule and tympani and contains perilymph. (justfactsllc.com)
As the stapes vibrates, it transmits the sound vibrations to the cochlea, the snail shaped portion of the inner ear, which transforms the vibrations into nerve signals that are transmitted to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. (petplace.com)
Nerves2
The cochlea contains the nerves that transmit the electrical impulses and is directly responsible for hearing. (petplace.com)
Another centre, the Opisthotic, appears in the vicinity of the promontory on the medial wall of the tympanum, surrounds the fenestra cochleæ, forms the floor of the vestibule, and extends medially to complete the floor of the internal acoustic meatus. (co.ma)
En su pared lateral la ventana oval está ocupada por la base del ESTRIBO del OÍDO MEDIO. (bvsalud.org)
Tympanum1
Surrounding the cochlea inferiorly and laterally, it completes the floor of the tympanum, and ultimately blends with the anterior and inferior part of the tympanic ring. (co.ma)
Vibrations3
The oval window of the cochlea vibrates as sound is conducted into the inner ear and the vibrations of the oval window. (kenyon.edu)
In the Cochlea, the sound vibrations convert into the vibrations of fluid into a wave from one end of the cochlea to the other by the motions created (like ripples) by each bone pushing the fluid within the chambers. (audiologicservices.com)
Sound vibrations from the bones of the middle ear are transferred to the fluids of the cochlea. (trentonsocial.com)
While the external and middle ears are mainly concerned with the transmission of sound, the inner ear contains the cochlea - often called the organ of hearing - and also houses the body's organ of balance. (trentonsocial.com)
The mammalian inner ear contains sensory organs, the organ of Corti in the cochlea and cristae and maculae in the vestibule, with each comprised of patterned sensory epithelia that are responsible for hearing and balance. (biomedcentral.com)
NGS of RNA from inner ear sensory epithelial cells led to the identification of 455 miRNAs in both cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelium, with 30 and 44 miRNAs found in only cochlea or vestibule, respectively. (biomedcentral.com)
Eustachian1
Also known as the tympanic cavity, the middle ear is an air-filled, membrane-lined space located between the ear canal and the Eustachian tube, cochlea, and auditory nerve. (trentonsocial.com)
Membrane1
According to Lambertz the lamina spiralis of the cochlea ossifies in membrane. (co.ma)
The middle part of it (v) is the vestibule. (usf.edu)
It showed flattening of apical and middle turns of both cochlea with large vestibules. (eurorad.org)
Function3
Patients with improved caloric function had received significantly lower mean (1.5 ± 0.7 Gy, p=0.01) and maximum doses (4 ± 1.5 Gy, p =0.01) to the vestibule. (researchsquare.com)
Additionally, mean and maximum doses received by the vestibule were significantly lower in patients who had improved caloric function. (researchsquare.com)
The cochlea, to function efficiently towards hearing, the oxygenated blood supply is a very essential component. (qxmd.com)
Small1
Because of its small size, the mouse cochlea presents some advantages and disadvantages for cochlear preparation and microscopic evaluation. (cdc.gov)
