Equilibrioception, the vestibular sense, is the perception of balance or acceleration and is mainly related to cavities containing fluid in the inner ear. There is some disagreement as to whether this also includes the sense of "direction" or orientation. However, as with depth perception earlier, it is generally regarded that "direction" is a post-sensory cognitive awareness.

∙ 14y agoThe inner ear is the area where ballance sensation takes place and more specifically in a structure called the semicircular cannal network. This is made up of three semicircular cannals (called anterior, lateral and posterior). The wat they work is the within them structures called otoliths are projected from the wall on relatively fine "hairlike" brackets. The otoliths are pulled down by gravity and so is the head is at different angls (or momentum from rapid ceasation of head movement carries them) then the ony the fall in different directions will be puled down. When the brackets are bent signals are sent to the brain and this is computed to give a sense of orientation in relation to gravity.
