Question
Chapter 18.6, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How mechanoreceptors are involved in the sense of equilibrium?
Introduction:
The equilibrium is maintained by two structures present in the inner ear. These structures are vestibules and the semicircular canals. The ears have three semicircular canals, which are filled with fluid. The movement of the fluid (endolymph) in the semicircular canal sends signal to the brain for the change in the position. The vestibule has saccule and utricle. It gathers the information, which is related to change in plane.
