Learning Objectives

The vestibular system is located within the inner ear and is the main sensory organ concerned with balance and movement.
Endolymphatic fluid within the vestibular labyrinth is in direct communication with the cochlea, which is the main sensory organ to do with hearing.
The vestibular and auditory apparatus also share a common blood supply.
Disorders affecting the vestibular apparatus are therefore commonly accompanied by tinnitus and/or hearing loss.
The vestibular apparatus consists of:
- Three semicircular canals
