The difference between the membranous labyrinth and bony labyrinth of the internal ear.

Introduction:

The ear is the sensory organ for the hearing process. The ear is classified into outer, middle, and the inner ear. The outer ear comprises pinna and the ear canal that transfers the sound waves to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The middle ear consists three ossicles that transfers the vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear membrane in the wave forms. The inner ear transfers the information to brain.
