Also called maculae provide information on head position (static equilibrium), as well as linear acceleration and deceleration, a type of dynamic equilibrium. The maculae consist of hair cells with hair bundles and supporting cells.

What detects linear acceleration in the ear?

The utricle and saccule in the inner ear are responsible for detecting linear acceleration such as changes in head positioning and forward/backward movements. They contain specialized sensory cells called hair cells that detect these movements through the movement of tiny calcium carbonate crystals called otoliths.
