The semicircular canals or semicircular ducts are three semicircular, interconnected tubes located in the innermost part of each ear, the inner ear. (wikipedia.org)
The three canals are the horizontal, superior and posterior semicircular canals. (wikipedia.org)
The semicircular canals are a component of the bony labyrinth that are at right angles from each other. (wikipedia.org)
At one end of each of the semicircular canals is a dilated sac called an osseous ampulla, which is more than twice the diameter of the canal. (wikipedia.org)
The superior and posterior semicircular canals are oriented vertically at right angles to each other. (wikipedia.org)
Among species of mammals, the size of the semicircular canals is correlated with their type of locomotion. (wikipedia.org)
The lateral or horizontal canal (external semicircular canal) is the shortest of the three canals. (wikipedia.org)
Findings from a 2009 study demonstrated a critical late role for BMP-2b in the morphogenesis of semicircular canals in the zebrafish inner ear. (wikipedia.org)
Additionally, it has been found that the two semicircular canals found in the lamprey inner ear are developmentally similar to the superior and posterior canals found in humans, as the canals of both organisms arise from two depressions in the otic vesicle during early development. (wikipedia.org)
Structures in the inner ear called semicircular canals include three fluid-filled ducts positioned at approximately right angles to each other. (williamsburghears.com)
Manual manipulation techniques, including the Semont and Epley maneuvers, are designed to move debris out of the semicircular canals in the inner ear and are effective in the majority of cases of BPPV. (lifeextension.com)

The vestibular system, which is the system of balance, consists of 5 distinct end organs: 3 semicircular canals that are sensitive to angular accelerations (head rotations) and 2 otolith organs that are sensitive to linear (or straight-line) accelerations. (medscape.com)
The vestibular system consists of a large chamber (ie, the vestibule) from which 3 semicircular canals protrude. (medscape.com)
Within the vestibule, 2 sensors (the utricle and the saccule), detect linear acceleration, and the semicircular canals detect rotational movements in the 3 planes of rotation. (medscape.com)
The semicircular canals have five openings into the vestibule with one shared by the anterior and the posterior canals. (lookformedical.com)
The fluid filled chambers within the vestibule are generally continuous with those of the semicircular canals. (medscape.com)
Behind the oval window is the vestibule, from which the cochlea, semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule branch off. (justfactsllc.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)
The vestibular apparatus, which functions in motion and position sensing, consists of three semicircular canals and the utricle and the saccule. (basicmedicalkey.com)
COCHLEAR DUCT11
Labyrinthotomy disrupts the cochlear duct and spiral lamina and thus disrupts hearing as well. (neurosurgicalatlas.com)
The cochlea is a bony, spiral-shaped chamber that contains the cochlear duct of the membranous labyrinth. (medscape.com)
The sense of hearing is provided by receptors within the cochlear duct. (medscape.com)
Beginning in the fifth week of development, the auditory vesicle also gives rise to the cochlear duct, which contains the spiral organ of Corti and the endolymph that accumulates in the membranous labyrinth. (medscape.com)
The vestibular wall separates the cochlear duct from the perilymphatic scala vestibuli, a cavity inside the cochlea. (medscape.com)
The basilar membrane separates the cochlear duct from the scala tympani, a cavity within the cochlear labyrinth. (medscape.com)
The lateral wall of the cochlear duct is formed by the spiral ligament and the stria vascularis, which produces the endolymph. (medscape.com)
The hair cells develop from the lateral and medial ridges of the cochlear duct, which together with the tectorial membrane make up the spiral organ of Corti. (medscape.com)
There are several parts to the cochlea: the cochlear duct with the organ of Corti (the end organ of hearing), and the scala vestibuli and scala tympani, which hold the perilymph. (basicmedicalkey.com)
the base of the cochlear duct is the basilar membrane. (msudenver.edu)
CONCLUSION: Increases in endolymphatic pressure may cause a primary swelling of the apical cochlear duct and saccule, both of which have relatively thin membranes. (bvsalud.org)

Lateral4
The lateral semicircular canal is about a 30-degree angle from the horizontal plane. (wikipedia.org)
The superior or anterior semicircular canal is a part of the vestibular system and detects rotations of the head in around the lateral axis, that is, rotation in the sagittal plane. (wikipedia.org)
In ears without MD, the Reissner's membrane and the membranous wall of the saccule were thinner than that of the utricle and of the lateral semicircular canal ( p (bvsalud.org)
The lateral semicircular canal did not show signs of hydrops. (bvsalud.org)
Canal9
thus each semicircular canal stands at right angles to the other two. (wikipedia.org)
The posterior semicircular canal is a part of the vestibular system that detects rotation of the head around the antero-posterior (sagittal) axis, or in other words, rotation in the coronal plane. (wikipedia.org)
It is suspected that the role of BMP-2 in semicircular canal duct outgrowth is likely to be conserved between different vertebrate species. (wikipedia.org)
