  1. vestibular apparatus

    The vestibular apparatus is a complex set of structures in the inner ear that plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and controlling eye movements by sensing changes in the direction and speed of head movements. It consists of two main components: the semicircular canals, which respond to rotational movements; and the otolith organs, the utricle and saccule, which respond to changes in gravitational force and linear acceleration. Dysfunction in the vestibular apparatus can cause dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and other symptoms.
