The semicircular canals are three loops of interconnected canals within the inner ear which are responsible for detecting angular acceleration. The three canals are the superior posterior and lateral canals. These canals meet at the common crus or the ampulla.
- Superior semicircular canal
- Posterior semicircular canal
- Lateral semicircular canal
The three canals meet at the common crus or the ampulla. The ampulla is a small pouch-like structure that contains a fluid known as the endolymph. The ampulla is located at the base of the semicircular canals and serves as a sensory organ for maintaining balance and equilibrium.

What kind of work did horses and mules do along the canals?
Horses and mules pulled the boats through the canals. Ropes were attached to the boats and tied on the animals, who walked alongside the canals.

Where is the fish's ear located?
ANSWER:Fish have ears that are located within the brain cavity. At the same time, they have no external structures such as the human external ear and they have no middle ear. The ears of fishes (and sharks and rays) are very similar in structure to the inner ears found in other vertebrates, including humans. They consist of three semicircular canals and three otolith organs, the saccule, lagena, and utricle. (In reptiles, birds, and mammals, the lagena has evolved into the cochlea).
Can turtles get dizzy?
Yes it would since they have a similar anatomy to humans in the inner ear, that is they also have semicircular canals and a cochlea. Actually the first inner ear appeared in the fossil record more than 420 Million years ago. Birds are a relatively young animals in evolutionary terms, having appeared only around 150 million years ago.

You are an ice skater and are learning to spin when you stop the room keeps moving and you cannot get your balance which structure is involved in this?
for apex it is semicircular canals :)
Are semicircular canals the same as semicircular ducts?
No. Semicircular canals are located in the vestibule of the ear and are membranous that contain receptor cells; semicircular ducts house dynamic equilibrium receptors and contain an enlarged region and a receptor region and that respond to angular motion.
