which statements is false about the Auditory Structures and their Functions
a. The middle ear is connected to the mastoid air cells.
b. The inner ear has three parts: the semicircular canals; the vestibule, which contains the utricle and the saccule; and the cochlea.
c. The cochlea is a circular-shaped canal within the temporal bone.
d. The cochlea is divided into two compartments by the vestibular and basilar membranes. The scala vestibuli and scala tympani contain perilymph. The cochlear duct contains endolymph and the spiral organ (organ of Corti).
