Question

In the ear, cochlea help in balancing the body whereas semicircular canals help in hearing.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Semicircular canals and vestibule help in balancing the body whereas cochlea helps in hearing. The semicircular canals are three tiny, fluid-filled tubes in our inner ear that helps us maintain our balance. The cochlea (auditory inner ear) transforms the sound waves into neural messages. It transforms the vibrations of the cochlear liquids and associated structures into a neural signal.
