two types of balance are there,STATIC balance and DYNAMIC balance.dynamic balance,that is during movement,is maintained by the SPECIAL HAIR CELLS in the 3 semicircular canals present in internal ear[or LABYRINTH] WHILE STATIC balance is maintained by the SACCULUS $ UTRICULUS,, also the part of labyrinth.
Many structures within your body contribute to your sense of balance and equilibrium. A common body part that is important for balance is your big toe.
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 fluid in the inner ears; the reason why you get dizzy when you spin around is because the fluid is sloshing around.
The word balance is a noun and a verb. The noun form is a state of equilibrium. The verb form means to be in equilibrium.
The vestibular apparatus in the inner ear is responsible for keeping balance/equilibrium.
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.
We find the structures for balance in the inner ear. They include, for dynamic equilibrium, the semi-circular canal, and for static equilibrium, the vestibule (which contains the utricle and saccule).
The Hindbrain controls coordination and equilibrium. The metencephalon contains structures such as the pons and cerebellum. These regions assists in maintaining balance and equilibrium, movement coordination, and the conduction of sensory information.
The cerebellum controls balance. _____ Balance has nothing to do with the brain. The inner ear controls balance in humans and animals. Please see the related link.
The semicircular canals and the vestibule are responsible for balance.
Semi-Circular canals
The semicircular canals contain fluid and hair cells responsible for maintaining one's balance. For example, when a person tilts his head, the fluid in the semicircular canals also move. This movement is then detected by the hair cells and will in turn, send signals to the brain to keep the body's balance.
