epithelium and nervous tissue
Hair cells are specialized cells found in the sensory epithelium of the inner ear. They are a type of epithelial tissue, specifically located in the cochlea and vestibular system, where they play a crucial role in converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
The vestibular system is also called the inner ear balance system.
The muscular system is made of a type of tissue called muscle tissue. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Each type has unique characteristics and functions within the body.
If a viral infection involves the vestibular nuclei, it can lead to symptoms of vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, such as vertigo, imbalance, and nausea. The infection can disrupt the normal functioning of the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Treatment may involve medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.
The sensory receptors involved in maintaining normal balance or equilibrium include the vestibular system (inner ear), proprioceptors (joints and muscles), visual system, and tactile input (skin sensations). These sensory inputs work together to provide the brain with information about body position, movement, and spatial orientation.

The vestibular system is also called the inner ear balance system.
Vestibular system
The vestibular system provides your brain with motion, head position, and spatial orientation information. It also involves motor functions that stabilize your head and body during physical movement. Hence, any problem with the vestibular system will be treated with vestibular therapy. Vestibular therapy in Wauwatosa helps you regulate the problems caused due to imbalance in vestibular systems. Balance problems include various issues, but they are connected to the vestibular system. During the treatment, the vestibular system will get reprogrammed to establish an association with your brain. The vestibular therapy in Wauwatosa will restore equilibrium so that you can enjoy your daily activities without fear of falling.
Sensory system: Auditory and Vestibular systems
The vestibular sense is controlled by the vestibular system located in the inner ear. This system includes the semicircular canals and otolith organs, which help provide the brain with information about balance, spatial orientation, and movement.
'Vestibular sense' means a sensory system located in structures of the inner ear that registers the orientation of the head.

cardiac, skelatal, and smooth
Cerebellar-vestibular dysfunction refers to an impairment in the coordination between the cerebellum (responsible for balance and coordination) and the inner ear vestibular system (responsible for balance and spatial orientation). This dysfunction can result in symptoms such as dizziness, unsteadiness, and difficulty with coordination and balance. It may be caused by various conditions affecting either the cerebellum or the vestibular system.
The vestibular system and the auditory system each contain structures called maculae. In the vestibular system, the maculae are found in the utricle and saccule of the inner ear and help detect linear acceleration. In the auditory system, the macula is a part of the cochlea and is involved in detecting sound vibrations.
