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.

What is positioned in all spatial planes except semicircular canals?
semicircular ducts
Which parts of the cochlea are responsible for sensing angular acceleration?
The semicircular canals are responsible for dynamic equilibrium and more specifically angular acceleration. The anterior, posterior, and lateral semicircular ducts are the specific canals which detect rotational movements.
What contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium?
The semicircular canals and the vestible are responsible for balance.
Where does the sense of balance occur?
semicircular canals and the vestibule
What might have an infection cause dizziness?
semicircular canals
What is positioned in all spatial planes except semicircular canals?
semicircular ducts
What is the sensory organ of the semicircular canals?
The semicircular ducts are an organ of balance located in the inner ear.
Dynamic equilibrium receptors are found in the?
Semicircular Canals

What contains receptors for the sense of equilibrium?
The semicircular canals and the vestible are responsible for balance.
What does your sense of balance depend on?
semicircular canals
Where do the semicircular canals meet?
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 canalThe 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 fills the semicircular ducts?
Endolymph
Semicircular ducts are filled with what?
perilymph
What plays the biggest role in your feeling dizzy and unbalanced after a thrilling roller coaster ride?
semicircular canals
What receptors are found in the crista ampullaris?
It is located in the semicircular canals. Which have a swelling called an ampulla at their base-which contains crista ampullaris.
How does the arrangement of the semicircular canals help you keep your balance .?
The anterior and posterior semicircular ducts are oriented vertically at right angles to each other. The lateral semicircular duct is about 30-degree angle from the horizontal plane. The orientations of the ducts cause a different duct to be stimulated by rotation of the head in different planes. Thus, the horizontal canal detects horizontal head movements (such as when you spin in a rotating chair), while the superior and posterior canals detect vertical head movements (such as when you bend forward to pick something up from the floor.
