Dogfish head. Light micrograph of a transverse section through the head of a lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula),in the region of the auditory canals. At upper centre is the dogfish brain with y-shaped ventricles (white space). Either side are the auditory cavities (white spaces) that house the semi-circular canals responsible for maintaining balance. The mouth (buccal) cavity is at lower centre. The bubble-like areas under the skin (left and right) are the ampullae,opening to the surface,which control balance and pressure differences.
