Name the parts of the organ of equilibrium involved in the following functions.
(a) Linear movement of the body.
(b) Changes in the body position.
(c ) Rotational movement of the head.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) The utricle and saccule are two membranous sacs, found nearest the cochlea and contain equilibrium receptor regions called maculae that are involved in detecting the linear movement of the head.
(b) Two fluids, perilymph and endolymph, respond to the mechanical forces, during changes occurring in body position and acceleration.
(c) The anterior, posterior and lateral canals detects the rotational movement of the head.
