The gelatinous cup present inside the crista ampullaris is called cupola.it cntain hair cell which sense the movement of head.

Otolith is chemically calcim carbonate stone located in the utricle and saccule of teh inner ear.it also help in maintaining the equilibrium.

urticle and saccule are otherwise called otolith organ.Utricle is larger than the saccule.

Macula is the hair cell present in the utricle which help to maintain the equilibrium.

scala media is the middle puch of the cochlea which seperated by basilar membrane and reissners membrane.it is filled with enolymph.Organ of corti which convert the mechanical sound into electrical waves are located in the scala media.
