Your balance and equilibrium. Each of the canals lie in a different plane and depending on which way you bend, twist, or turn, the fluid inside of them will trigger tiny hairs that signal what your orientation is so you can make moves to correct it and not wind up on the floor.
That's also why spinning in circles makes you dizzy. It gets the fluid within those canals spinning as well and throws off your balance so you can't stand up. Fun huh?

Which of these organs helps in maintaining the sense of balance or equilibrium of your body?
You have three semicircular canals in your inner ear. They are placed at right angle to each other. Fluid is partly filled in these canals. By appreciating the fluid level in these canals you can guess the position of your head.
A persons sense of balance related to what?
It is associated with your inner ear.You have three semicircular canals in your inner ear. They are placed at right angle to each other. Fluid is partly filled in these canals. By appreciating the fluid level in these canals you appreciate the sense of balance or equilibrium..
Does the middle ear control your sense of equilibrium?
equillibrium is balance and the semi circular canals in the ear affect it
Is it true or false that The cochlea is a liquid-filled cavity in the inner ear.?
The walls of the hollow cochlea are made of bone, with a thin, delicate lining of epithelial tissue.
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 cavity of the inner ear is filled with fluid?
Semicircular canals: are the fluid filled structures in the ear, which are involved in balance.
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

What is the function of semi-circular canals?
The purpose of the semicircular canals in your inner ears are for equillibrium. They have fluid in them that moves when you do and that stimulates hairs inside them that are connected to nerves.

What are the three spaces in the inner ear?
vestibule, semi-circular canals, and cochlea
What parts of the ear are in the inner ear?
The inner ear consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts: -- the cochlea, dedicated to hearing -- the vestibular system, dedicated to balance The cochlea transforms vibrations into nerve impulses for the brain. On the opposite side of the vestibule are the three semi-circular canals, which provide nerve signals on the motion of the body along 3 axes. There are otolithic structures in the vestibule (called the utricle and saccule) that provide information on the relative position of the head and body.
What part of the inner ear does not play a part in hearing?
semi-circular canals. These are just for balance
Does the middle ear control your sense of equilibrium?
equillibrium is balance and the semi circular canals in the ear affect it

What is the inner ear's job?
The inner ear translates sound into nerve impulses for the brain, and maintains the balance of the body. There are three main sections: - Cochlea: It is coiled portion and auditory portion of inner ear. It reacts to vibrations in various frequencies by sending neural impulses to the brain. The primary section is called the Organ of Corti, containing 15,000 to 20,000 nerve receptors. - Semi-circular canal: Three fluid filled canals horizontal semi-circular canal, posterior semi-circular canal and anterior semi-circular canal are called semi-circular canals. The fluid inside these canals is called endolymph. The dilation at one end of canal is called ampulla. Ampulla contains Cupula and hair cells. Semi-circular canals are responsible for body balance and detect direction of rotation of head. - Vestibule: It is located between the semi-circular canals and cochlea. Its anterior and inferior part has several minute holes for the passage of filaments of acoustic nerve (auditory nerve) to saccule. Saccule detects the motion of head when it moves vertically. At the upper and back of vestibule a structure called utricle detects the degree of tilt movement of head.
What helps determine your vertical position and balance of the ear?
The semicircular canals in the inner ear help determine vertical position and balance. These canals are filled with fluid and contain sensory hair cells that detect the movement of the fluid as the head tilts or rotates. This information is sent to the brain, which helps maintain balance and determine the vertical orientation of the body.
