Labyrinth

The video tutorial explains the anatomy and function of the labyrinth system in the temporal bone, focusing on the bony and membranous labyrinths. It details how sound waves are transmitted through the ear, converted into nerve impulses, and how balance is maintained. The cochlea's structure, including the scala vestibuli, scala tympani, and cochlear duct, is discussed, along with the vestibular system's role in detecting linear acceleration. The semicircular canals' function in detecting head rotation is also covered, as well as the nerve pathways that transmit information to the brain.
