The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments:
the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex
of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR
CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth
which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR
DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These
spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions
