Part of the vestibular system, important for balance and spatial orientation.

Carries auditory sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain.

Vibrates in response to sound waves; convert acoustic energy into mechanical energy.

Connects with the eardrum to transmit sounds to the incus.

Contains hair cells that convert vibratory motion into electrical signals for the auditory nerve.

Part of the cochlea that contains the endolymph which the Organ of Corti sits in.

Fluid within the cochlea in two of its three compartments (scala vestibuli and scala tympani) that carries sound vibrations to the cochlear duct.

Allows for the displacement of cochlear fluid caused by the movement of the oval window.

Funnel sounds into the ear canal and assists in sound localization.

The central part of the bony labyrinth, involved in the sense of balance.

Equalizes air pressure in the middle ear with the external atmosphere.

Transfers mechanical vibrations from the stapes to the fluid in the cochlea.

Transfers vibrations from the malleus to the stapes.

Transduces mechanical sound vibrations into nerve impulses which are sent to the brain.

A passage at the apex of the cochlea that connects the scala tympani and scala vestibuli allowing fluid to move between them.

Fluid within the cochlea's scala media that plays a key role in the process of auditory transduction.

Transmits sound from the pinna to the eardrum; contributes to the resonance of sound.

Involved in the auditory transduction process by interacting with the hair cells of the Organ of Corti.

Conveys vibrations from the incus to the oval window of the cochlea.
