The semicircular canal is found in the inner ear and is responsible for individuals being able to keep their balance. There is a sort of bulbous structure at the end of the semicircular canal called the ampulla which is where the receptors of equilibrium are located.
The equilibrium receptor found within the ampullae of the semicircular canals is called the crista ampullaris. It is responsible for detecting rotational movements of the head and helps in maintaining balance and orientation in space. Movement of the endolymph within the semicircular canals triggers the hair cells in the crista ampullaris to send signals to the brain regarding the direction and speed of head movement.
Semicircular Canals
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.
Semicircular Canals
The semicircular canals are located in all three planes of space. The receptor for dynamic equilibrium is called the crista ampullaris, which is a minute elevation in the ampulla of each semicircular canal.
