Question
Chapter 40.5, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The structures that are used to detect gravity, and the orientation and movement of the head.
Introduction:
The inner ear is responsible for the conversion of sound waves into electrical signals. However, some structures in the inner ear detects gravity, and the movement and the orientation of the head are termed as the vestibular apparatus.

Students have asked these similar questions
The vestibular apparatus is located completely inside the head. If you close your eyes, how can you tell if the rest of your body is tilted with respect to gravity?
The receptors for static equilibrium that report the position of the head in space relative to the pull of gravity are in the (a) spiral organ, (b) maculae, (c) crista ampullaris, (d) ampullary cupulae, (e) joint kinesthetic receptors.
Can you please explain the different controls for each specific quadrant and how they work? Thank you
