Hmm, interesting. The question reminds me that I need to brush up on my anatomy.

Anyway, I think the answer that you are looking for is "perilymph" (the watery fluid which shakes around following stimulation from the stapes (bone)) and "stereocilia" (which are essentially "hair-like" extensions which track and measure the movement of the perilymph).

And thank you for giving me the opportunity to brush up on my ear anatomy!

What parts of the ear are in the inner ear?

The inner ear consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts: -- the cochlea, dedicated to hearing -- the vestibular system, dedicated to balance The cochlea transforms vibrations into nerve impulses for the brain. On the opposite side of the vestibule are the three semi-circular canals, which provide nerve signals on the motion of the body along 3 axes. There are otolithic structures in the vestibule (called the utricle and saccule) that provide information on the relative position of the head and body.
