The vestibular system consists of five sensory end organs that detect head movement and acceleration. The three semicircular canals detect rotational head movements while the utricle and saccule detect linear acceleration. Hair cells in the semicircular canals and maculae bend in response to movement, triggering nerve impulses about head position and motion sent to the brain for balance control. The brain then coordinates muscle contractions to maintain equilibrium.
The document summarizes key aspects of peripheral vestibular function and mechanisms. It describes how the vestibular labyrinth senses head movements and positions via hair cells in the semicircular canals and otolith organs. Signals are relayed to the brainstem and cerebellum to control eye movements and posture. The specific roles of the semicircular canals and otolith organs in sensing rotational and linear accelerations are detailed, as well as the sensory transduction processes in the hair cells and how they encode movement.

The vestibular system located in the inner ear helps maintain equilibrium and spatial orientation. It contains two types of sensory organs - the maculae which detect linear acceleration and position with respect to gravity, and the semicircular canals which detect angular acceleration and rotation of the head. Hair cells within these organs bend in response to movement, triggering nerve signals to the brain. The brain integrates vestibular information with other sensory inputs to coordinate muscle responses and eye movements that keep vision stable and maintain balance and posture. Damage to the vestibular system can cause vertigo, dizziness and conditions like Meniere's disease.

The vestibular system helps maintain balance and stabilize gaze. It contains semicircular canals that detect rotational head movements and otolith organs that detect linear acceleration and head position relative to gravity. The vestibular nerve relays information from the inner ear to the brainstem vestibular nuclei. These nuclei integrate vestibular signals and generate reflexes that control eye movements and posture.
The vestibular apparatus detects head movements and provides information about balance and equilibrium. It consists of semicircular canals and otolith organs. The semicircular canals detect rotational head movements and contain fluid and hair cells that signal acceleration and deceleration. The otolith organs detect linear acceleration and gravity to sense head position. Signals from the vestibular apparatus help maintain posture, eye movements, and motion perception. Damage can cause dizziness and impair balance.
The vestibular apparatus contains the organs that sense equilibrium - the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. Hair cells within these organs detect linear and angular acceleration. When stimulated, hair cells trigger nerve impulses that travel to the brainstem and cerebellum to maintain posture and balance. Disorders like vertigo, motion sickness, and Meniere's disease can disturb equilibrium by affecting the vestibular apparatus.
The vestibular system in the inner ear detects motion and orientation of the head to maintain balance. It contains semicircular canals that detect rotational head movement and otolith organs that detect linear acceleration. Signals from the vestibular system are integrated with other sensory inputs in the brainstem and cerebellum to coordinate eye movements and posture. Damage to the vestibular system can cause vertigo and loss of balance.
The vestibular system contains structures in the inner ear that sense movement and maintain balance and eye coordination. It includes semicircular canals, which contain fluid and sensory cells that detect rotational movement, and the utricle and saccule, which contain otolith organs that detect linear acceleration. When the head moves, fluid in the semicircular canals shifts, bending sensory hair cells and sending signals to the brain. This allows perception of angular acceleration. The utricle senses horizontal head movements and the saccule senses vertical movements. Together they maintain static equilibrium. Signals from the vestibular system help stabilize gaze and coordinate eye movements with head movements.
The document summarizes the vestibular system which is involved in maintaining equilibrium and balance. It describes the three main systems - vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive. The vestibular system contains the semicircular canals and otolith organs which detect head movement and gravity. The hair cells in each organ bend to detect rotational or linear acceleration and send signals to the brain. Disorders like nystagmus and vertigo can result from vestibular problems. Together, the three systems allow the brain to integrate sensory information and coordinate muscle movements to keep the body balanced.
The vestibular apparatus contains the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule which help detect head movement and orientation. The hair cells in these structures bend in response to movement, triggering nerve impulses about head position. This information is integrated in the brain to maintain balance and stabilize gaze. Dysfunctions can cause vertigo and imbalance from issues like BPPV or strokes affecting the vestibular system.
The inner ear is composed of a bony labyrinth that houses the membranous labyrinth. The membranous labyrinth contains the cochlea, three semicircular canals, and two otolith organs (the utricle and saccule). The semicircular canals contain cristae that detect rotational head movements while the utricle and saccule contain maculae that detect linear accelerations and gravity. Endolymph fills the membranous labyrinth and perilymph fills the space between the bony and membranous labyrinths. The vestibular portion detects head movements and maintains balance.

The vestibular system contains five sensory organs in the inner ear that detect motion and orientation - the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. Hair cells in these organs bend in response to linear or rotational acceleration, stimulating nerve fibers that project to the vestibular nuclei. This information is used to coordinate two reflexes - the vestibulo-ocular reflex stabilizes gaze during head movement, while the vestibulo-spinal reflex activates muscles to maintain posture and balance. Together these reflexes help integrate vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive input to keep the eyes and body oriented during motion.
The document discusses the vestibular system, which detects angular and linear acceleration of the head. It has two main parts: the semicircular canals and otolith organs. The semicircular canals contain hair cells that detect rotational movement and signal the brain. The otolith organs contain hair cells and calcium crystals that detect gravity and linear acceleration. The vestibular system provides input to areas of the brainstem, cerebellum and cortex that are important for balance, posture, eye movements and awareness of head position. It discusses the anatomy and function of the vestibular system and several reflexes it controls like the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
The structures involved in equilibrium are located in the inner ear. There are two types of equilibrium - static and dynamic. Static equilibrium occurs when the body is motionless or moving in a straight line, and involves the utricle, saccule, and otolith membranes. Dynamic equilibrium occurs during rotational movement and involves the three semicircular canals and their associated ampullae and cupulae. Both static and dynamic equilibrium allow the detection of head position and movement via hair cells that detect fluid motion and send nerve impulses.
The vestibular apparatus contains the semicircular canals and otolith organs which provide the senses of balance and spatial orientation. It detects head movement and position. Hair cells in the cristae and maculae transmit signals about acceleration and gravitational forces to the brainstem and cerebellum via the vestibular nerve. This network enables upright posture, eye movements, and righting reflexes. Damage can cause conditions like motion sickness, Meniere's disease, and nystagmus.
The vestibular system provides balance and orientation. It contains semicircular canals and otolith organs. The semicircular canals detect rotational head movements and the otolith organs detect linear acceleration and gravity. Hair cells in the organs transduce mechanical stimuli into neural signals. Disorders like Meniere's disease, BPPV, and injuries can damage the vestibular system and cause dizziness and vertigo.
The vestibular system provides important sensory information about head movement and orientation. It consists of semicircular canals and otolith organs that detect rotational and linear acceleration. The vestibular system generates reflexes to stabilize gaze and posture. It feeds information to the brain which processes inputs from vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems to coordinate eye movements and maintain balance. The vestibular system is essential for spatial orientation, navigation, and regulating other bodily functions.
This document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of equilibrium. It discusses:
1) The functions of equilibrium include general body orientation, balanced locomotion, readjusting autonomic functions after reorientation, and gaze stabilization.
2) These functions are achieved through vestibulo-ocular reflex, vestibulospinal reflex, and vestibulosympathetic reflex.
3) The receptors for movement detection are the semicircular canals and otolith organs within the vestibular labyrinth of each inner ear.

2. The Vestibular system:
Main function is Balance
• It lies in the otic capsule in the petrous portion of
the temporal bone.
• It consists of 5 distinct end organs:
o 3 semicircular canals that are sensitive to angular
accelerations (head rotations)
o 2 otolith organs "utricle & saccule" that are sensitive
to linear (or straight-line) accelerations.
3.
4. Peripheral receptors:
Cristae and Macule
• The sensory organs of the utricle and saccule are
the maculae.
• Each macula consists of hair cells and supporting
cells.
• The ciliary bundles of the hair cells project into
the overlying gelatinous matrix known as the
otolith membrane.
• Otoliths are mineral and protein particles
embedded in the otolith membrane (Calcium
Carbonate crystals).
5.
6. Macula
• It consists of supporting cells and hair cells
• It detect and respond to the position of the head with respect to
linear acceleration and pull of gravity.
• Each macula contains thousands of hair cells that synapse with
sensory endings of vestibular nerve
• Each hair cell has 60-80 small cilia called stereocilia plus one
large cilium called kinocilium.
• The kinocilium is always located in one side, and the stereocilia
gradually become shorter.
• Minute filaments connect the Tip of each sterocilium to the Next
longer cilia and finally to kinocilium .
7.
8. Macula
• When stereocilia bend to the direction of kinocilium, it
results in opening of K+ channels at the tip of the
stereocilia, allowing K+ ions to enter and depolarize
the hair cell.
• In respone to depolarization voltage-gated Ca+2
channels are activated allowing for Ca+2 influx and the
subsequent liberation of transmitters to produce an
action potential.
9.
10. Macula
Conversely, bending of
stereocilia in the
opposite direction
(backward to the
kinocilium) reduces
the tension on
attachments and this
closes the ion channels
causing receptor
hyperpolarization and
inhibition of the cell.
11. Macula
• When the head is upright, the hairs project upward
into the gelatinous material.
• When the head bends forward, backward, or to one
side, the hair cells are stimulated as the gelatinous
material of the maculae sag in response to gravity
causing the hair to bend.
• Stimulated hair cells signal nerve fibers resulting in
impulses traveling to the CNS on the vestibular
branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve and
informing the brain of the head’s new position.
• Brain responds by sending motor impulses to
skeletal muscles to contract/relax to maintain
balance.
12. Macula
• In the utricle, macula lies
in the horizontal plane of
the inferior surface of
utricle so it determines
the orientation of the
head in upright position,
senses motion in the
horizontal plane(eg,
forward-backward
movement, left-right
movement, combination)
• In the saccule, macula
lies in the vertical plane
and senses motion in the
sagittal plane (eg, up-
down movement)
13.
14. The semicircular canals:
• Lateral or horizontal, Anterior or superior and
Posterior.
• The semicircular canals are connected to the
utricle at their bases.
• Oriented at right angles to one another.
• At the end of each canal is an enlarged chamber,
the ampulla.
• The ampulla contains a sensory receptor called
crista ampullaris.
15. The semicircular canals:
• The sensory organ of the
semicircular duct is crista
ampullaris.
• The crista consists of a
gelatinous mass, the
cupula.
• Embedded in the cupula are
the cilia of hair cells.
• The basal membranes of
the hair cells synapse on
the sensory neurons of the
vestibular nerve.
16.
17. Crista ampullaris:
• Detect and respond to angular acceleration &
deceleration of the head.
• Rapid turns of the head or body stimulate the hair cells
of the crista ampullaris.
• Appropriate rotation of the head in one direction bends
cilia in the opposite, depolarizing the cells.
• Nerve fibers send impulses to the brain – cerebellum
• Analysis of information allows the brain to predict the
consequences of the rapid body movements and signal
appropriate skeletal muscle to maintain balance.
18.
19. Crista ampullaris:
• Each semicircular canal works in concert with a partner
located on the other side of the head, which has its hair
cells aligned oppositely.
• There are three such pairs: the two pairs of horizontal
canals, and the superior canal on each side working
with the posterior canal on the other side.
• Head rotation deforms the cupula in opposing directions
for the two partners, resulting in opposite changes in
their firing rates.
20.
21. Crista ampullaris:
• For example, the orientation of the horizontal canals makes
them selectively sensitive to rotation in the horizontal plane.
More specifically, the hair cells in the canal towards which the
head is turning are depolarized, while those on the other side
are hyperpolarized.
• when the head turns to the left, the cupula is pushed toward
the kinocilium in the left horizontal canal, and the firing rate
of the relevant axons in the left vestibular nerve increases. In
contrast, the cupula in the right horizontal canal is pushed
away from the kinocilium, with a concomitant decrease in the
firing rate of the related neurons. If the head movement is to
the right, the result is just the opposite.
