The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Vestibular Apparatus**: The vestibular apparatus is a complex structure located in the inner ear that plays a crucial role in maintaining body balance and spatial orientation. 2. **Identifying the Components**: The vestibular apparatus consists of two main components: - **Semicircular Canals**: There are three semicircular canals, which are arranged at right angles to each other. They are named: - Anterior Canal - Posterior Canal - Horizontal Canal - **Otolith Organs**: This includes two structures known as the utricle and saccule. These organs help detect the position of the head in relation to gravity. 3. **Function of the Semicircular Canals**: The semicircular canals are responsible for detecting rotational movements of the head. They help maintain equilibrium during body movement by sensing changes in motion. 4. **Function of the Otolith Organs**: The otolith organs (utricle and saccule) are responsible for sensing linear accelerations and the position of the head relative to gravity. They help in maintaining balance when the head is stationary or moving in a straight line. 5. **Conclusion**: In summary, the vestibular apparatus related to body balance consists of: - Semicircular Canals (anterior, posterior, and horizontal) - Otolith Organs (utricle and saccule)
