Elements forming internal ear

Question

Specify the elements which constitute the internal ear? State some of the functions of those structures?

Answer 1

In internal ear there exist cochlea and the semicircular canals. The fluid that fills cochlea attains the vibration from ossicular chain of the middle ear and transmits the pressure to semicircular canals. In semicircular canals, the pressure variation of filling the fluid moves cilia of hair cells of these structures. The hair cells then produce the action potentials which are transmitted to the brain through auditory nerves.
