The Vestibulocochlear Organ 前庭蜗器

   Parts: external ear 外耳 middle ear 中耳 internal ear 内耳：

Conduct the sound wave 。

Contains the receptors of auditory and vestibular organs

External ear

The external ear consists of

auricle 耳廓 ,external acoustic meatus 外耳道 tympanic membrane 鼓膜 .

Consists of three parts Tympanic cavity 鼓室 Auditory tube 咽鼓管 Mastoid antrum 乳突窦 and mastoid cells 乳突小房

Middle ear 中耳

Position: An irregular air-filled cavity locates within the temporal bone, and lies between the tympanic membrane and the lateral wall of the inner ear 内耳 .

• It contains the auditory ossicles 听小骨 , ligaments, muscles, vessels and nerves.

Internal ear 内耳

bony labyrinth 骨迷路 membranous labyrinth 膜迷路 .

Position: lies in the petrous part of the temporal bone, and consists of two parts:

Internal ear 内耳

The bony labyrinth is composed of the compact bone, and the latter, a series of communicating membranous sacs and ducts, is contained within the bone labyrinth.

The membranous labyrinth is filled with endolymph 内淋巴 ,

The space between the membrnous and bony labyrinth is filled with perilymph 外淋巴 .
