Utriculosaccular duct

The utriculosaccular duct (Latin: Ductus utriculosaccularis) is a part of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear which connects the two parts of the vestibule, the utricle and the saccule.[1]
The utriculosaccular duct continues to the endolymphatic duct and ends in the endolymphatic sac.
