The Vestibular System
Description: The vestibular system is a sensory system that helps us maintain our balance and spatial orientation. It is located in the inner ear and consists of three semicircular canals and two otolith organs. The semicircular canals detect angular acceleration, while the otolith organs detect linear acceleration and gravity. | |
