In the ear, you have got three semicircular canals. To explain about their position you have to first understand the three dimensions in space. If you are sitting in a room. Go to the corner of the room. Here all three walls are connected to each other at right angles. Semicircular canals lie in these three planes. They are connected to each other at Utricle and Saccule. All of them contain some fluid. When the position of the head changes, there is movement of this fluid. This movement is perceived by the hair cells present in Utricle and Saccule.For verticle position you have receptors in Utricle and for horizontal position you have got receptors in Saccule. They send signals to the Vestibular nucleus present in the brain,via the Vestibulocochlear nerve,at the rate of 100/sec to several hundred/seconds.(The eighth cranial nerve.) Then you have got two such apparatuses in your two ears, giving you stereoscopic effect adding to the efficacy of the the orientation of position of your head. All these apparatus lie in the Petrous part of the temporal bone. You have other signals, like position sense sensations from all joints of your body. They add to the efficacy of the system. Then your eyes also provide signals of your position.(Sometimes they momentarily cheat you, when you think your train is moving forward when actually train to the side of you is moving backwards.) So mainly the position and level of the fluid in the semicircular canals added to other sense receptors give you your sense of balance. They all gather at the Vestibular nucleus present in brain.(The size of these semicircular canals is very small. They are only about 2 mm across.)

What part of your brain helps your keep your balance?
cerebellum
Which part of a sheeps brain is the biggest?
The biggest part of the sheep's brain is the Cerebrum.
What part of brain regulates balance coordinates and smoothes movements?
Cerebellum
What part of the brain helps us keep your balance?
The 10% you use.
What part of the brain controls balance movement and coordination?
That part of the brain is called the cerebellum. In the smallest area of the cerebellum, called the flocculonodular lobe, there is something called the vestibulocerebellum. Its main function is balance and coordination; therefore, if it is damaged, it could cause disturbances to your balance and walking abilities.
Which part of the brain regulates water balance?
The part of the brain that regulates water balance also regulates body temperature. This part of the brain is called the hypothalamus.
What part of brain control your balance?
The Cerebellum controls our balance.

The biggest part of the sheep's brain is the Cerebrum.
Whats the part of a fishes brain that maintains balance?
Cerebellum is the part of a fishes brain that maintains balance. It receives and processes information from the visual, auditory, and lateral line systems.
The part of the brain concerned with controlling water balance?
hypothalamus
Which part of the brain controls muscles coordination and balance?
Cerebellum
What part of the brain is used for balance maintenance?
Vestibular system
What is the inner part of the brain that regulates water balance?
The inner part of the brain that regulates water balance is the hypothalamus. It produces hormones like vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) that help regulate water balance by controlling the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys.
