vestibular

where is the vestibule located?

between the cochlea and semicircular canals

what is the vestibule composed of?

utricle and saccule

hair cells covered by a gelatinous matrix that contains crystals of calcium carbonate

otoliths

where is the semicircular canal located?

opposite the vestibule from the cochlea

what does the semicircular canal contain?

layer of the eye that contains cornea and sclera

fibrous layer

layer of the eye that contains choroid, iris, and ciliary body

middle vascular layer

layer of the eye that contains the retina

inner nervous layer

part of fibrous layer that admits light, contains collagen fibers and no blood vessels, multiple pain receptors, transparency maintained by control of the amount of water

cornea

white of the eyes

sclera

junction of the cornea and the sclera

limbus

part of vascular layer between the sclera and the retina, contains pigment and blood vessels, and in most animals, it forms the tapetum (highly reflective area in the rear of the eyes)
