v • d • e Sensory system: Auditory and Vestibular systems

Outer ear	Pinna (Helix, Antihelix, Tragus, Antitragus, Earlobe) • Ear canal

Middle ear	Eardrum (Umbo) • Ossicles (Malleus, Incus & Stapes) • muscles (Stapedius, Tensor tympani) • Eustachian tube (Torus tubarius)

Inner ear/Labyrinth	Bony labyrinth (Vestibule) • Membranous labyrinth Oval window → Scala vestibuli / Reissner's/vestibular membrane, Helicotrema and Scala tympani / Basilar membrane (Perilymph) → Round window Cochlea: Modiolus • Cochlear duct / scala media (Endolymph, Stria vascularis, Spiral ligament, Organ of Corti), Olivocochlear system Organ of Corti: Stereocilia • Sulcus spiralis (externus, internus) • Limbus spiralis

to brain (auditory)	Tectorial membrane → Hair cells → Spiral ganglion → Cochlear nerve ^VIII → Cochlear nuclei → Trapezoid body → Superior olivary nuclei → Lateral lemniscus → Inferior colliculi → Medial geniculate nuclei → Auditory radiations → Primary auditory cortex

Vestibular system	Static/translations: Utricle (Macula) – Saccule (Macula, Endolymphatic sac, Endolymphatic duct) – Kinocilium – Otolith Kinetic/rotations: Semicircular canals (Superior, Posterior, Horizontal) • Cupula • Ampullae (Crista ampullaris)

to brain (vestibular)	Vestibular nerve ^VIII → Vestibular nuclei, Flocculonodular lobe Vestibular nuclei → Vestibulospinal tract, Ventral posterolateral nucleus → Vestibular cortex
