- ''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 inbetween these two parts.

The inner ear contains the '''cochlea''', '''vestibule''' and '''semicircular canals''' in the bony labyrinth of the '''petrous temporal bone'''. These organs are responsible for the function of hearing and positional and gravitational relationships of the head at rest and during movement.
