Describe vestibular system and its working?

Expert

Verified

The vestibular system is a part of an ear. It maintains control and regulation of the balance of the body (equilibrium). The semicircular canals of the internal (Inner) ear are perpendicularly placed and sense changes in the gravitational point of the head (It is another sensorial job of the inner ear, in addition of auditory perception). When pressure of the fluid is rotated by the movement of head within the canals upon the cilia of specific receptor cells varies and those cells cause action potentials transmitted by the vestibulocochlear nerve. Then neural impulse is interpreted by the brain as information concerning the gravitational pose of the head.
