Perilymphs and Otoliths
I had a medical checkup a few weeks ago and did a little sketching practice while waiting in the exam room. These are some excerpts from a poster on the anatomy of the ear. I thought the individual parts strongly resembled interesting alien creatures. My favorite new word was “otoliths”. I think they’re ballast for your inner ear. So when people say you have rocks in your head, it’s probably true.
