bony labyrinth

The semicircular canals are a component of the bony labyrinth.

It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, making 2.5 turns around its axis.

Now a team of European scientists has begun focusing on the bony labyrinth of the inner ear.

The membranous labyrinth runs inside of the bony labyrinth.

The inner ear has two parts: the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth.

The bony labyrinth (osseous labyrinth) is the rigid outer wall of the inner ear.

In radiology, oblique view of skull, to establish better views for petrous bone, bony labyrinth and internal auditory canal.

It is part of the bony labyrinth and is used by the vestibular system to detect rotations of the head in the sagittal plane.

Furthermore, scans of the skulls reveal a canal and bony labyrinth morphology, which is not supportive to proper bipedal locomotion.

The membranous labyrinth does not completely fill the bony labyrinth, but is partially suspended in it in a fluid (the perilymph).

The bony labyrinth, or osseous labyrinth, is the network of passages with bony walls lined with periosteum.

Between the outer wall of the membranous labyrinth and the wall of the bony labyrinth is the location of perilymph.

The utricle and the saccule are parts of the balancing apparatus (membraneous labyrinth) located within the vestibule of the bony labyrinth (small oval chamber).

The membranous labyrinth is contained within the bony labyrinth, and within the membranous labyrinth is a fluid called endolymph.

The other two sections are known as the scala tympani and the scala vestibuli, these are located within the bony labyrinth which is filled with fluid called perilymph.

In mammals, it consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts:

The snout is believed to be crucial in restricting this loss to sustainable levels, through a bony labyrinth that has a refrigerator effect and helps to condense water vapour in the breath.

Rosenthal's canal or the spiral canal of the cochlea is a section of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear that is approximately 30 mm long and makes 2 turns about the modiolus.

Allometric measurements on the bony labyrinth of BAC-208, a fragmentary cranium that preserves a complete, undeformed petrosal bone suggest that Oreopithecus moved with agility comparable to extant great apes.

The membranous labyrinth is lodged within the bony labyrinth and has the same general form; it is, however, considerably smaller and is partly separated from the bony walls by a quantity of fluid, the perilymph.
