Utricle
The utricle, or utriculus, along with the saccule is one of the two otolith organs located in the vertebrate inner ear. The utricle and the saccule are parts of the balancing apparatus located within the vestibule of the bony labyrinth. These use small stones and a viscous fluid to stimulate hair cells to detect motion and orientation.
