Elements which constitute the internal ear

Question

Write down the elements which constitute the internal ear? And also write down the functions of those structures?

Answer 1

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