What is another word for bony labyrinth?
Pronunciation: [bˈə͡ʊni lˈabəɹˌɪnθ] (IPA) 
The bony labyrinth is the complex network of canals and cavities within the inner ear that contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance. It is also known as the osseous labyrinth or the temporal bone labyrinth. Other synonyms for the bony labyrinth include the inner ear labyrinth and the cochlear labyrinth. In anatomical terms, the bony labyrinth is divided into three sections: the vestibule, the semicircular canals, and the cochlea. Each of these sections serves a different function in the detection and transmission of auditory and vestibular signals. Understanding the bony labyrinth is essential for diagnosing and treating conditions that affect hearing and balance, such as vertigo and hearing loss.
