Distinguish between the senses of static and dynamic equilibrium.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Please explain the scope and function of the vestibular sense.What is static equilibrium? What structures are involvedwith static equilibrium?Bryan has normal vision and is wearing a special headset that shows a picture of a sailboat to his left eye and a picture of a dog to his right eye. What is Bryan's perception of these images most likely to be? He will only perceive whichever image is presented to his dominant eye. He will alternate between perceiving the sailboat and perceiving the dog. He will perceive the dog and the sailboat overlaid on top of each other. He will perceive parts of the dog and parts of the sailboat combined together in a fashion similar to a puzzle.
