Across
  1. 5. Directs sound waves into the auditory canal
  2. 7. Canal that spans from the outer ear to the middle ear
  3. 10. Waves that cause basilar membrane resonance
  4. 12. Fluid comparable to CSF
  5. 15. Nerve connecting the cochlea to the brain
  6. 17. Structure within semicircular ducts which is pushed around to stimulate hair cells and detect rotational head movement
  7. 18. Abbreviation for the cells responsible for hearing
  8. 19. Calcium carbonate crystals whose name means ear stone
  9. 21. Detects linear acceleration and head tilting on the vertical plane
  10. 22. Responsible for sensing static head positions and linear head motion
  11. 23. Anvil-shaped bone in the middle ear
Down
  1. 1. Contains the organ for hearing
  2. 2. Channels responsible for opening to allow depolarization
  3. 3. Fluid contained in the semicircular ducts
  4. 4. Responsible for sensing head rotation in different planes
  5. 6. Mechanosensing organelles attached to hair cells in the inner ear
  6. 8. Membrane that responds to sound waves by vibrating. Colloquially known as the eardrum
  7. 9. Organ responsible for hearing. Name denotes the shape
  8. 11. The stage in which the cell returns to normal charge and k channels close
  9. 13. Fluid-filled chambers
  10. 14. Labyrinth that functions as a system of ducts
  11. 16. Detects head tilts and linear acceleration in the horizontal plane
  12. 20. The largest ossicle
