 | | Inside these channels in bone sits the membranous labyrinth, components of which are the actual functional structures for balance and hearing. | | | Although at first it might seem odd that both of these functions should be combined in one organ, as we'll see in this exercise, the logic of doing so becomes obvious upon closer examination. | | | This may seem to be hairsplitting, perhaps, but it's not. |
