Assertion:Vestibular apparatus helps us in maintaining balance of body and posture.
Reason:Due to the arrangement of semicircular canals of vestibular apparatus, movement of head in any direction will stimulate sensory cells to maintain dynamic equilibrium.

Vestibular apparatus maintains body is

Assertion :- Main function of ear is body balance. Reason:- Organ of corti help to maintain body equillibrium.

Assertion :- Organ of Corti rests on tectorial membrane having hair cells embedded in it. Reason:- Helps to maintain equilibrium of body.

Based on the diagram drawn above in membranous labyrinth give a suitable term for each of the following descriptions: (1) The sensory cells that helps in hearing. (2) The part that is responsible for static balance of the body. (3) The membrane covered opening that connects the middle ear to the inner ear. (4) The fluid present in the middle chamber of cochlea. (5) The structure that maintains dynamic equilibrium of the body.

Anatomically, the ear can be divided into three major sections called the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. How many statements are correct for inner ear? i. The organ of Corti is a structure located on the basilar membrane which contains hair cells that act as auditory receptors. ii. A large number of processes called stereo cilia are projected from the apical part of each hair cells iii. Above the rows of the hair cells is a thin elastic membrane called tectorial membrane iv. The vestibular apparatus is composed of three semi-circular canals and the otolith organ consisting of the saccule and utricle. v. Semi-circular canals contain a projecting ridge called macula vi. The saccule and utricle contain a projecting ridge called cristae vii. The cristae and macula responsible for maintenance of balance of the body and posture.

Assertion. Cerebellum is large, lobed and convoluated in active animals. Reason. Cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements and helps maintain posture and equilibrium

[A] : Our inner ear contains sense organs for balance movement of fluid over hair cells in the semicircular canals and gives us a sense of dynamic equilibrium. [R]: Inner ear contains Ca003 granules (otoliths) resting on hair cells. The movement of these granules gives us a sense of static equilibrium.
