## vestibular_cupula.jpg The image is a detailed diagram illustrating the structure of the semicircular canals within the inner ear, which are responsible for detecting rotational movements of the head and maintaining balance. The background color of the image is purple. At the top left corner, there's a label pointing to "Semicircular Canal," indicating one of the three main parts that make up this structure. Below it, another label points to an area labeled as "Ampulla of a Semicircular Canal." This part appears to be a bulbous enlargement at the end of each semicircular canal. The central part of the image shows a cross-section view of the inner ear where the semicircular canals are depicted. The canals themselves are shown in pink and are filled with a fluid called "Endolymph Fluid," which is crucial for the function of these structures. In the middle, there's an area labeled as "Cupula." This structure appears to be a gelatinous dome that sits on top of the hair cells within the ampulla. The bottom part of the image shows another section where labels point out various components: "Filaments of Hair Cells," which are sensory structures responsible for detecting motion, and "Hair Cells" themselves. These are depicted in blue and pink colors to differentiate them from other parts of the structure. Finally, at the very bottom right corner, there's a label pointing to "Vestibular Nerve." This nerve transmits signals about head position and movement from the semicircular canals to the brain. The diagram is quite detailed and uses labels to identify each part clearly for educational purposes.
