#inner_ear__innerear__internal_ear__labyrinth  a complex system of interconnecting cavities; concerned with hearing and equilibrium
  supertype:  sense_organ__sensory_receptor__sensoryreceptor  an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation
  part of:  auditory_apparatus
  part:  neuroepithelium  epithelium associated with special sense organs and containing sensory nerve endings
  part:  membranous_labyrinth  the sensory structures of the inner ear including the labyrinthine receptors and the cochlea; contained within the bony labyrinth
     part:  utricle__utriculus__utriculu  a small pouch into which the semicircular canals open
     part:  saccule__sacculus  a small sc or pouch (especially the smaller chamber of the membranous labyrinth)
  part:  bony_labyrinth__osseous_labyrinth__osseouslabyrinth  cavity in the petrous part of the temporal bone that contains the membranous labyrinth
  part:  endolymph  the bodily fluid that fills the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear
  part:  perilymph  the bodily fluid that fills the space between the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear
  part:  semicircular_canal  one of three tube loops filled with fluid and in planes nearly at right angles with one another; concerned with equilibrium
  part:  cochlea  the snail-shaped tube (in the inner ear coiled around the modiolus) where sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses by the Organ of Corti
     part:  basilar_membrane__basilarmembrane  a membrane in the cochlea that supports the Organ of Corti
     part:  modiolus  the central conical bony pillar of the cochlea
     part:  organ_of_Corti  the hearing organ of the inner ear; contains receptors that respond to sound waves
        part:  hair_cell  a sensory epithelial cell present in the Organ of Corti
  part:  labyrinthine_artery__artery_of_the_labyrinth__internal_auditory_artery  a branch of the basilar artery that supplies the labyrinth
  part:  labyrinthine_vein__internal_auditory_vein  veins that drain the inner ear
