Descriptor oído interno
Entry term(s) laberinto
Scope note: El oido interno es la parte esencial del órgano de la audición y consta de dos compartimentos: el laberinto óseo y el laberinto membranoso. El laberinto óseo es un complejo de tres cavidades o espacios interconectados (CANALES SEMICIRCULARES LABERINTO VESTIBULAR y CÓCLEA) en el HUESO TEMPORAL. Dentro del laberinto óseo se encuentra el laberinto membranoso, que es un complejo de sacos y túbulos (SÁCULO Y UTRICULO, CONDUCTO COCLEAR y CONDUCTOS SEMICIRCULARES) formando un espacio continuo rodeado de EPITELIO y tejido conjuntivo. Esos espacios están llenos de LÍQUIDOS LABERÍNTICOS, de distintas composiciones.

Scope note: The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.
