What does not belong in the group Tectorial membrane Crista ampullaris Semicircular canals Cupula?

Tectorial membrane does not belong in the group because it is a structure of the cochlea in the inner ear, while the rest - Crista ampullaris, Semicircular canals, and Cupula - are structures of the vestibular system in the inner ear involved in balance and spatial orientation.


What is fluid moving cupula when head is turned?

Scarpa's fluid.


What is the movement of the cupula during rotational acceleration and deceleration?

During rotational acceleration, the cupula moves in the opposite direction of head rotation due to inertia, causing the hair cells to bend and trigger a signal to the brain indicating movement. During deceleration, the cupula moves in the direction of head rotation, also activating the hair cells to signal changes in movement.


What is the function of the ampulla into the ear?

The three semicircular canals (SSCs) within the vestibular organ of each ear contain fluid and hair receptor cells encased inside a fragile membrane called the cupula. The cupula is located in a widened area of each canal called the ampulla. When you move your head, the fluid in the ampulla lags behind, pushing the cupula a very tiny bit which causes the hairs to also bend a very tiny bit. The bending hairs stimulate the hair cells, which in turn trigger sensory impulses in the vestibular nerve going to the brain to "report" the movement. Hair cells are amazingly sensitive. For example, a cupula movement of even a thousandth of an inch is detected by the brain as a big stimulus. The three canals are positioned roughly at right angles to one another in the three planes of space. Thus, the canals react separately and in combination to detect different types of swiveling head movement. They detect when we nod in an up and down motion (pitch), when we tilt our head to the side towards our shoulder (roll), and when we shake our head "no" in a side to side motion (yaw). The semicircular canals are responsible for detecting any kind of rotational motion in the head.


Contains the cristae ampullaris?

The cristae ampullaris are found in the semicircular canals of the inner ear. They are specialized sensory structures that are involved in detecting rotational movements of the head and helping with balance and equilibrium.

What are the three parts of the ear and what structures are located in each part?

You have external ear, middle ear and the internal ear. You have the auricle and the ear canal is there in the external ear. Then you have a ear drum, that separates external ear from the middle ear. In the middle ear, you have three tiny bones. Eustachian canal is there in the middle ear. Then you have oval and round window to separate the middle ear from internal ear. In the internal ear, you have vestibulocochlear apparatus and the vestbulocochlear nerve is there.


What is the part of the your ear we can see is?

The three sections are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. There are links below to the images of the ear's anatomy.
