| bony labyrinth | A series of cavities (cochlea, vestibule, and saemicircular canals) contained within the otic capsule of the petrous portion of the temporal bone; the bony labyrinth is filled with perilymph, in which the delicate, endolymph-filled membranous labyrinth is suspended. Synonym: labyrinthus osseus, osseous labyrinth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bony palate | A concave elliptical bony plate, constituting the roof of the oral cavity, formed of the palatine process of the maxilla and the horizontal plate of the palatine bone on either side. Synonym: palatum osseum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bony part of external acoustic meatus | The medial two-thirds of the external acoustic meatus which is formed as the tympanic plate of the temporal bone develops; it extends approximately 16 mm. From its junction with the cartilaginous part to the tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bony saemicircular canals | The three bony tubes in the labyrinth of the ear within which the membranous saemicircular ducts are located; they lie in planes at right angles to each other and are known as anterior saemicircular canal, posterior saemicircular canal, and lateral saemicircular canal. Synonym: canales saemicirculares ossei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crura of bony saemicircular canals | The extremities of the bony saemicircular canals in which the corresponding membranous limbs of the saemicircular ducts are located; they are the common bony crus, simple bony crus, and ampullary bony crus.
