Synonym: inner ear
English:
Definition[Bearbeiten]
In veterinary medicine, the term auris interna or inner ear' refers to one of the three components of the ear (auris).
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The inner ear is located in the pars petrosa of the temporal bone (pars petrosa ossis temporalis). It consists of two parts:
- Bony labyrinth (labyrinthus osseus)
- membranous labyrinth (labyrinthus membranaceus)
Between the two parts is the spatium perilymphaticum, a space filled with perilymph. In the area of the organ of equilibrium (pars statica labyrinthi), the membranous labyrinth is clamped into the bony labyrinth by connective tissue septa.
