The organ is a group of fine, fluid-filled tubes, the Semicircular Canals, and stem from the Middle Ear. They contain nerve cells similar to those of the cochlea, and lie on roughly orthogonal planes so as to co-operate in 3 dimensions. They don't themselves maintain equilibrium but are combined inclinometers and accelerometers whose outputs are analysed by the brain so it can control the muscles for equilibrium.
