The circular canals are parts of your ears. There are three of them and each one senses position in each of the three dimensions of space. The brain uses the information to determine how your head is positioned in space and how it is moving.
This might explain why people become so dizzy after spinning their body around several times.
They are the organ of balance.
13 I'm pretty sure
Balance - they tell your brain which way up you are.
vestibule, semi-circular canals, and cochlea
You wouldnt be able to stay balanced and would lead to major damage in the auditory canals.
semi-circular canals. These are just for balance
The function of semi circular canal in the ear is balance and orientation
They are a type of motion sensor, as the movements of the cilia are communicated to the brain.

The semi-circular canals are small, fluid-filled structures located in the inner ear, each measuring about 1-2 centimeters in length and only a few millimeters in diameter. There are three semi-circular canals—horizontal, anterior, and posterior—arranged perpendicularly to one another to detect rotational movements of the head. Their size allows them to effectively sense changes in balance and orientation, playing a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium.
Assuming you mean the semi-circular canals in the ear... they help keep us balanced.
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.
