Descriptor conductos semicirculares
Scope note: Los tres conductos membranosos encerrados dentro que los canales semicirculares óseos. Se abren en el UTRÍCULO a través de cinco aberturas. Cada uno de los conductos tiene en un extremo una zona sensitiva denominada cresta ampular. Las CÉLULAS CILIADAS AMPULARES de las crestas perciben el movimiento de la ENDOLINFA producido por la rotación de la cabeza.

Scope note: The three membranous semicircular ducts within the bony semicircular canals. They open into the UTRICLE through five openings. Each duct has at one end a sensory area called the ampullary crest. AMPULLARY HAIR CELLS of the crests sense the movement of ENDOLYMPH resulting from rotation of the head.
