2. Ampullary cupula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullary_cupula

   The cupula is the onion-shaped structure surrounded by endolymph in the ampulla. The ampullary cupula, or cupula, is a structure in the vestibular system, providing the sense of spatial orientation. The cupula is located within the ampullae of each of the three semicircular canals.

3. Crista ampullaris - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crista_ampullaris

   The receptor cells located in the semicircular ducts are innervated by the eighth cranial nerve, the vestibulocochlear nerve (specifically the vestibular portion). The crista ampullaris itself is a cone-shaped structure, covered in receptor cells called "hair cells".

4. Ampullae of Lorenzini - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullae_of_Lorenzini

   Ampullae of Lorenzini are physically associated with and evolved from the mechanosensory lateral line organs of early vertebrates.Passive electroreception using ampullae is an ancestral trait in the vertebrates, meaning that it was present in their last common ancestor. [7]

5. Semicircular canals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircular_canals

   At one end of each of the semicircular ducts is a dilated sac called a membranous ampulla, which is more than twice the diameter of the ducts. Each ampulla contains an ampullary crest, the crista ampullaris which consists of a thick gelatinous cap called a cupula and many hair cells. The superior and posterior semicircular ducts are oriented ...

6. Vestibular nerve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_nerve

   The vestibular nerve is one of the two branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve (the cochlear nerve being the other). In humans the vestibular nerve transmits sensory information from vestibular hair cells located in the two otolith organs (the utricle and the saccule) and the three semicircular canals via the vestibular ganglion of Scarpa.

9. Inner ear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_ear

   The cochlea, dedicated to hearing; converting sound pressure patterns from the outer ear into electrochemical impulses which are passed on to the brain via the auditory nerve. The vestibular system, dedicated to balance. The inner ear is found in all vertebrates, with substantial variations in form and function.
