Inner Ear Physiology:

1) Round window of Cochlea - allows perilymph to move within the cochlea

2) saccule - Vertical velocity

3) utricle - Horizontal velocity

4) otoliths - Accelerometer; modified hair cells

5) semicircular canals - rotational acceleration

6) vestibulocochlear nerve - carries electrical signal from OoC to CNS

7) Tonotopically organized - location of hair cells vibrating gives brain pitch of sound

8) Low frequency pitches - away from oval window

9) High frequency pitch - close to oval window
