The hair cells have a special type of ion channel that is gated by mechanical deformation. Depending on which way the hair cell bends, the neuron will either become hyperpolarised or depolarised. Deformation of the hair cells is caused by two separate mechanisms depending on which part of the vestibular system is in question. For the semicircular canals (SCCs) - these are filled with a fluid, such that when the head moves, the fluid momentarily lags behind exerting pressure on a membrane called a cupula. At its base are hair cells that project up into the cupula. When the cupula is deflected, so are the hair cells. The second component is the otolithic organs. These consist of a flat, top heavy bed of tissue with hair cells at their base. When the head moves up/down or side-to-side, the tissue (otolithic membrane) momentarily lags behind and the hair cells are deformed. In both cases the transduction is mechanical -> electrical; but whereas the SCCs rely on fluid movement for the mechanical force, the otoliths don't.
The vestibular apparatus, which is located in the inner ear, detects head movements such as a nod through hair cells that respond to changes in acceleration and gravity. When the head nods, the movement is detected by the vestibular system, which helps maintain balance and spatial orientation.
The 8th cranial nerve sends messages to the brain from the ear. There are several parts involved: In the inner ear are receptor cells that receive vibrations of sound and noise from the outside, which then stimulate the cochlear nerve to send these sounds to the brain for interpretation.Head movements also affect the fluid inside the ear and stimulate the vestibular nerve to send information to the brain regarding the body's sense of balance or position.
Vestibular neuritis is typically caused by a viral infection affecting the vestibular nerve in the inner ear. This inflammation of the nerve can disrupt the balance signals sent to the brain, resulting in symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, and nausea.
Vestibular system detects rotation of the head through the semicircular canals, which are fluid-filled structures sensitive to angular acceleration. When the head rotates, the fluid in the canals moves, stimulating hair cells that send signals to the brain about the direction and speed of the rotation.
Hormones are produced by glands to stimulate cells or tissues into action

The vestibular system is composed of specialized sensory cells called hair cells that are located in the inner ear. These hair cells are responsible for detecting motion, orientation, and balance.

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.

The mantle is where convection cells are formed. Convection currents help stimulate the tectonic plate movements thus recycling sediments and soil.

The primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells. The secondary follicle consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells, now collectively called the membrana granulosa which begin to secrete follicular fluid.

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.
