Semi-Circular canals
The fluid in the inner ears; the reason why you get dizzy when you spin around is because the fluid is sloshing around.
The ossicles are the three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. The sense of balance occurs in the fluid environment of the inner ear.
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
semicircular canals
Your ears can tell from which direction sounds are coming from, if that's what you mean by direction, and yes, your ears tell how balanced you are, but im not sure how, or in which part of them. Google it =D
the ear
Our ears contain a certain fluid. This fluid maintains our sense of balance. Without this you may not be able to balance yourself properly. When you turn round n' round your body spin as you know and so the fluid in the ear does. When you stop spinning the fluid still spins so your sense of balance still tells your spinning Spinning overwhelms the primary balance mechanism in the ear (the semi-circular ducts)which causes the giddy or dizzy feeling you describe. The information the eyes send to the brain is also a mechanism of balance (part of proprioception) so when the eyes are closed the feeling occurs more rapidly.
The ear is responsible for a human's sense of balance. Balance is basically determined by the amount of fluid found in one's inner ear.

Equilibrioception or the sense of balance is determined by the level of fluid properly called endolymph in the labyrinth - a complex set of tubing in the inner ear. See the related link for more information.

Sound! A2. And the direction of acceleration, for our sense of balance is located in the ears. This a set of three semicircular canals located adjacent to our hearing process.
I think that our sixth sense is balance!
Actually, the part of the brain responsible for the balance and coordination is the Cerebelum, which is the small brain as they say located on the base of your head. There is no particular sense that is responsible for your balance. A combination of the stimulation of all the senses maybe what adds to feeling nauseous during car rides.
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..
The semicircular canals and the vestibule are responsible for balance. If you are considering balance in terms of physiology, then the kidneys and hypothalamus would be the organ and gland, respectively, that govern the balance called homeostasis.
