Summary Introduction
To describe:
The relationship in structures between a bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth.
Concept introduction:
All the organs are very important in humans and all organs perform different functions. Like for example, kidneys are important to humans as they are the filtering organs of humans and they filter out the wastes from the body, similarly skin is an important organ as it plays a vital role in the regulation of body temperature and various other factors. In the same way, ears are also important as they help in listening and maintaining body balance.
