Inner ear anatomy necklace | sterling silver
The inner ear a fluid-filled labyrinth carved into the temporal bone, combining the cochlea for hearing and the vestibular apparatus for balance in one compact structure.
The Anatomy of the Inner Ear
The bony labyrinth of the inner ear contains two functional systems. The cochlea a fluid-filled spiral of two and three-quarter turns converts sound pressure waves into neural signals via the hair cells of the organ of Corti, which sit on the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane is tonotopically organised: high frequencies activate the base, low frequencies the apex. The vestibular system comprises three semicircular canals (oriented orthogonally to detect angular acceleration in three planes) and two otolith organs the utricle and saccule which detect linear acceleration and static head position via calcium carbonate crystals (otoliths) resting on hair cell maculae. The whole system is innervated by cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear nerve).
