Scope note: Dos sacos membranosos dentro del laberinto vestibular del OÍDO INTERNO. El sáculo se comunica con el CONDUCTO COCLEAR a través del conducto reuniens y con el utrículo a través del conducto utriculosacular, del cual surge el CONDUCTO ENDOLINFÁTICO. El utrículo y el sáculo tienen áreas sensitivas (mácula acústica) inervadas por el NERVIO VESTIBULAR.

Scope note: Two membranous sacs within the vestibular labyrinth of the INNER EAR. The saccule communicates with COCHLEAR DUCT through the ductus reuniens, and communicates with utricle through the utriculosaccular duct from which the ENDOLYMPHATIC DUCT arises. The utricle and saccule have sensory areas (acoustic maculae) which are innervated by the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
