What contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium?
The semicircular canals and the vestible are responsible for balance.
What part of the ear helps to maintain balance?
* The simi-circular canals helps your balance. The liquids within these canals move as your body spins or is leaning to one side. It then sends a signal to the brain telling it that the body is off balance. When you spin very fast in circles and you feel dizzy, this is because the liquids in the canal still need to settle down and stop moving or shaking. This is why you feel dizzy.
What is the sense that originates in the inner ear and is responsible for your spatial sense?
The sense of balance, the organs are the 3 semicircular canals.
What is an organ located in the inner ear and is responsible for maintaining general equilibrium?
The vestibular system consists of chambers and canals in the inner ear: maculae (these tell whether you are upright or at an angle) cristae (these tell if you are stationary or rotating) saccule and utricle (otolith organs, these tell the angle of your head tilt, such as when accelerating or decelerating). semicircular canals (these tell the angle of rotation of your head). All of these are necessary for proprioception, that is, your body learns what its position is in space and thus can adjust to keep you from falling over.
Where are the receptors for balance located?
Equilibrioception, the vestibular sense, is the perception of balance or acceleration and is mainly related to cavities containing fluid in the inner ear. There is some disagreement as to whether this also includes the sense of "direction" or orientation. However, as with depth perception earlier, it is generally regarded that "direction" is a post-sensory cognitive awareness.

The semicircular canals in the middle ear help to maintain?
balance
What is the sensory organ of the semicircular canals?
The semicircular ducts are an organ of balance located in the inner ear.
What parts of your inner ear is used to maintain balance?
The semicircular canals of your inner ear are used to maintain balance.
Where are the sensory receptors of the semicircular canals located?
Both of these are in the ear. The semi-circular canals help you to balance and the cochlea transmits nerve signals to the brain. This is how you hear. The inner ear is subdivided into the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The semicircular canals and cochlea are separate structures with different functions. The receptors for balance are in the semicircular canals, and the organ of Corti (the organ of hearing) is in the cochlea.

What structure in the ear helps you balance?
the three fluid filled semi-circular canals. during movement, the fluid in the canals moves, causing the gelatinous materials and the hair cells in the ampulla to move. When the hair cells are bent, a nerve impulse is stimulated
Balance problems would indicate a probem in which receptor?
the semicircular canals of the inner ear
What part of the inner ear is that like a coiled tube and contain the sense of balance?
The semicircular canals and the vestibule are responsible for balance.
Do ears help us to balance?
The semicircular canals contain fluid and hair cells responsible for maintaining one's balance. For example, when a person tilts his head, the fluid in the semicircular canals also move. This movement is then detected by the hair cells and will in turn, send signals to the brain to keep the body's balance.
The semicircular canals in what part of the body respond to the movement of your head to help you maintain your balance?
Inner ear
Where is human body's main organ of balance located?
Human body's main organ of balance is located in internal ear. You have vestibular apparatus with three semicircular canals there. The semicircular canals are placed at right angles to each other.
