Question
Chapter 44.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The orientation of the semicircular canal with respect to each other.
Introduction: The vertebrate ear is consists of three parts; the outer ear, middle ear, and the inner ear. The inner ear contains structures, which are responsible for the detection of sound and also maintain balance in the animals.
Summary Introduction
