Do otoliths detect linear acceleration?
Yes. A gelatinous cover, over tiny hairs in the saccule, which contain otholiths (ear stones) detects acceleration when they are bent during this movement.
What is the role of the emdolymph of the semicircular canals in activating the receptors during angular motion?
Each canal is filled with a fluid called endolymph and contains a motion sensor with little hairs (cilia) whose ends are embedded in a gelatinous structure called the cupula. As the skull twists in any direction, the endolymph is thrown into different sections of the canals. The cilia detect when the endolymph rushes past, and a signal is then sent to the brain.
Which sense organ has olfactory cells that allow oneself to detect an odor?
The nose is the sense organ that has olfactory cells responsible for detecting an odor. These cells are located in the nasal cavity and respond to the molecules in the air that we inhale.
What is the chemical in cylinder to detect leakage?
Helium is used to detect leaks.
How does PAGASA detect and discovers typhoons?
the pagasa can detect the incoming typhoon by technology
Do otoliths detect linear acceleration?

Where are the never fibers that detect gravity and speed located?
otoliths
What do the cells located on the roof of the nasal cavity detect?
hair
What can ocelli detect?
Tiny eyes (also called ocelli) that can detect light and dark are located on top of the spiders cephalothorax. They also can detect different wavelengths and intensities of light.
The cells located on the roof of the nasal cavity can detect 4000 different?
Odors, or smells.
Cells located on the roof of the nasal cavity can detect 4000 different what?
Odors, or smells.
How can you detect heat sensors?
One can detect heat sensors by searching their surroundings. Often, heat centers are located on ceilings in most rooms, and especially concentrated in areas such as the kitchen.
What light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
How is an earthquake located?
Seismographs placed around the planet detect the vibrations and calculate the epicenter using triangulation.
When you sniff to help you detect or identify odors you are?
forcing air to the top of the nasal cavity where olfactory chemoreceptors are located.
How is an earthquake epicentre located?
Seismographs placed around the planet detect the vibrations and calculate the epicenter using triangulation.
What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?
It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.
