AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Motion Sickness**: Motion sickness is a condition that occurs when there is a conflict between the sensory signals that the brain receives from the inner ear, eyes, and deeper body parts. 2. **Role of the Vestibular Apparatus**: The vestibular apparatus is located in the inner ear and is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. It consists of three semicircular canals and otolithic organs (saccule and utricle). 3. **Function of Hair Cells**: Within the vestibular apparatus, there are hair cells that detect changes in head position and movement. When the head moves, these hair cells bend, generating nerve impulses. ...
