*'''''Cochlea''''': forms a spiral around a central hollow core of bone, called the '''modiolus''',which contains the '''cochlear nerve'''. The '''spiral lamina''' projects into the '''spiral canal''', partially bisecting the lumen into two parts, which are called the '''scala tympani''' and the '''scala vestibuli'''. The ''scala media'' (the cochlear duct) is between these two parts. In the horse, the cochlea makes 2.5 turns.

The external ear receives sounds, which cause vibrations of the tympanic membrane. These vibrations move along the ossicles of the middle ear, to be transmitted to the inner ear. The stapes is connected to the oval window, so when the stapes transmits vibrations, this causes movement of '''perilymph''' that is in the inner ear. The movement of the perilymph is transmitted via the '''scala vestibuli''' and the '''scala tympani''', to the '''round window''', where it induces movement of the '''secondary tympanic membrane'''. This results in the movement of the '''endolymph''' of the '''cochlear duct''',  causing pressure on the '''tectorial membrane''', which then induces pressure on the sensory hairs, stimulating the receptor cells within the cochlear duct to send impulses to the '''spiral ganglion'''. The axons of the spiral ganglion form part of the '''vestibulocochlear nerve'''.
