[The venous drainage of the vestibular labyrinth in man (author's transl)]. 1979

A Mazzoni

The venous drainage of the vestibular division of the inner ear presents two different and separated routes. One, draining the central part of the sensorial areas (maculae and cristae), ends up into the vein of the cochlear aqueduct. The other drains the perypheral part of the sensorial areas as well as the simple endolymphatic walls and ends into the vein of the vestibular aqueduct. The latter vein shows close relationships to the endolymphatic sac.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003051	Cochlea	The part of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is concerned with hearing. It forms the anterior part of the labyrinth, as a snail-like structure that is situated almost horizontally anterior to the VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH.	Cochleas

D012665	Semicircular Canals	Three long canals (anterior, posterior, and lateral) of the bony labyrinth. They are set at right angles to each other and are situated posterosuperior to the vestibule of the bony labyrinth (VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH). The semicircular canals have five openings into the vestibule with one shared by the anterior and the posterior canals. Within the canals are the SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS.

D014680	Veins	The vessels carrying blood away from the CAPILLARY BEDS.	Vein
D014722	Vestibule, Labyrinth	An oval, bony chamber of the inner ear, part of the bony labyrinth. It is continuous with bony COCHLEA anteriorly, and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS posteriorly. The vestibule contains two communicating sacs (utricle and saccule) of the balancing apparatus. The oval window on its lateral wall is occupied by the base of the STAPES of the MIDDLE EAR.
