At the base of each semicircular canal is a structure called the ampulla, which contains a cluster of hair cells embedded in a gelatinous substance known as the cupula. These hair cells detect rotational motion of the head, as the movement causes the endolymph fluid within the canals to flow, bending the cupula and stimulating the hair cells. This sensory input is then transmitted to the brain, helping to maintain balance and spatial orientation.
Yes. A gelatinous cover, over tiny hairs in the saccule, which contain otholiths (ear stones) detects acceleration when they are bent during this movement.
Two types of receptors in the skin that detect fine touch are Meissner's corpuscles, which are located in the dermal papillae and detect light touch and vibration, and Merkel cells, which are located in the epidermis and detect pressure and texture.
Taste buds located on the tongue and in the mouth secrete saliva that helps dissolve food chemicals, allowing taste receptors to detect flavors.

Yes, box jellyfish do possess eyes. They have a cluster of eyes on each side of their bell, which allows them to detect light and navigate in their environment.

One can detect heat sensors by searching their surroundings. Often, heat centers are located on ceilings in most rooms, and especially concentrated in areas such as the kitchen.
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
Thermoreceptors are the type of receptors that detect heat and cold. They are specialized nerve endings located in the skin and other tissues that respond to changes in temperature.
Seismographs placed around the planet detect the vibrations and calculate the epicenter using triangulation.
