“INTERNAL EAR”
“AURIS INTERNA”
.
(the inner ear is the innermost part of the ‘vertebrate ear’)
.
(in ‘vertebrates’, the ‘inner ear’ is mainly responsible for ‘sound detection’ + ‘balance’)
.
(in ‘mammals’, it consists of the ‘bony labyrinth’, a ‘hollow cavity’ in the ‘temporal bone’ of the ‘skull’ with a system of ‘passages’ comprising 2 main functional parts…)
.
#1
*the ‘cochlea’*
(dedicated to ‘hearing’)
(converts ‘sound pressure patterns’ from the ‘outer ear’ into ‘electro-chemical impulses’ which are passed on to the ‘brain’ via the ‘auditory nerve’)
.
#2
*the ‘vestibular system’*
(dedicated to ‘balance’)
.
(the ‘inner ear’ is found in all ‘vertebrates’, with substantial variations in ‘form’ + ‘function’)
.
*the ‘inner ear’ is ‘innervated’ by the ‘8th cranial nerve’ in all ‘vertebrates’*
