Equilibrium of the body is maintained by (a) Sacculus and cochlea (b) Semicircular canals and utriculus (c) Eustachian tube (d) Ear ossicles
9- The receptors for equilibrium are found in the crista ampullaris of the. These receptors respond to changes in motion. When motion begins, the fluid lags behind and the is bent, which excites the hair cells. When the motion stops suddenly, the fluid flows in the opposite direction and again stimulates hair cells. The receptors for equilibrium are found in the maculae of the and . These receptors report on the position of the head in space. Tiny stones found in a gel overlying the hair cells roll in response to the pull of . As they roll, the gel moves and tugs on the hair cells, exciting them. Besides the equilibrium receptors of the inner ear, the senses of and are also important in helping maintain equilibrium.
