What 2 sensory functions does your ear do?
The two major functions of the ear are hearing and balance. Hearing is pretty obvious and involves sensing air vibrations by using a diaphragm connected by some very small bones to a fluid filled sensory structures. Nerve endings in the fluid are used to interpret the vibrations as sound. Balance is sensed by using small bits of a gravel like substance in one of the fluid filled structure. The inclination and motion of these bits of gravel and pressures of the fluid are sensed and interpreted as information as to up, down, and motion.
