Chapter 10, Problem 1RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The nature of utricle and saccule vestibular organs.
Introduction:
The utricle and the saccule are found in the inner ear and they regulate the linear accelerations of the received sounds. The sensory organ, ear, contains three parts namely- the outer ear, the middle, and the inner ear. The outer ear receives the sound vibrations and transmits them to the middle ear and then to the inner ear.
