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

Connects with the eardrum to transmit sounds to the incus.

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

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

It supports the Organ of Corti and vibrates in response to sound, allowing hair cells to transduce mechanical signals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transfers vibrations from the malleus to the stapes.

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

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

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

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

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.

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