Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Apart from detecting sound, the inner ears of humans can also detect movement with the help of vestibular apparatus present in the skull bones. Vestibular apparatus consists of a small chamber at its entrance called vestibule, and semicircular canals. Within the vestibules, there’s a saccule and utricle; both of which contain hair cells, which act as receptors. Only these hair cells make it possible for the vestibular apparatus to detect movement.
