The vestibular system is made up of a cavity situated at the entrance to the bony labyrinth in the inner ear which contains the tiny organs governing equilibrium and balance -- the saccule and utricle.
faculty of sensation that monitors body's acceleration, equilibrium and relationship to gravitational field
The system of fluid-filled canals located in the inner ear that assists in balance, coordination and orientation.
system in the body that is responsible for maintaining the body's orientation in space, balance, and posture; also regulates locomotion and other movements and keeps objects in visual focus as the body moves.
The parts of the nervous system that control equilibrium and balance.
the body's balance system and what gets upset when you spin around in circles- one of the great things to calibrate when doing a standing or moving intervention as the unconscious mind can cause a wobble, tilt or lean to be a visible signal.
The inner ear portion of the balance system.
the organ of the inner ear containing several three semicircular ducts at right angles to one another; helps keep the body balanced
Body mechanism relating to navigation, balance, and posture.
Semicircular canals and vestibular nerve.
The vestibular system, or balance system, is the sensory system that provides the dominant input about our movement and orientation in space. Together with the cochlea, the auditory organ, it is situated in the vestibulum in the inner ear (Figure 1). As our movements consist of rotations and translations, the vestibular system comprises two components: the semicircular canals, which indicate rotational movements; and the Otoliths, which indicate linear translations.
