Balance (your orientation in space).

The vestibular organ is located in the inner ear, specifically within the vestibule and semicircular canals. It is responsible for detecting changes in acceleration and orientation of the head to help maintain balance and equilibrium.

The job that the organ does is the function of that organ
You may have an undiagnosed vestibular problem. The vestibular system controls balance. There are many reasons why this may cease to function normally (e.g., inner ear infection, head trauma, disease, even anxiety). An Ear Nose and Throat specialist would be able to test for normal vestibular function.
Vestibular sacs are responsible for detecting changes in head position and movement, as well as providing information about acceleration and gravity to help maintain balance and orientation in space. They are part of the vestibular system located in the inner ear.
The reproductive organ of the female that secretes fluid for vaginal lubrication during coitus is the vestibular gland. There are four small glands that make up the vestibular gland. There are two small glands on each side of the vaginal orifice. The vaginal orifice is a median slit below and behind the opening of the urethra; its size varies inversely with that of the hymen. One pair of the small structures constitutes the greater vestibular glands; the other pair constitutes the lesser vestibular glands. The vestibular glands secrete a lubricating substance.
I have been studying the vestibular function on major depression patients for a long time, we found that there is a specific pattern of vestibular disorder on those patients that sometimes is symptomatic but most of times is subclinic. See "Asymmetries of vestibular dysfunction in major depression" Soza Ried AM, Aviles M, Neuroscience 144, 2007
The greater vestibular glands are called Bartholin's glands, and the lesser vestibular glands are called Skene's glands. Both glands are located near the vaginal opening and produce fluids that help with lubrication and sexual function.
the difference is ,a structure is where it is placed and the function is what it daos
