The brain can determine the static position of the head due to sensors in the cochlea oval window vestibule semicircular ducts
Solution
Ans. Correct option. C. Vestibules. The static labyrinth (utricle and saccule of vestibules are together called static labyrinth) gives the perception of ‘static position’ by detecting position of head relative to the gravity.
# Cochlea transforms sound waves into neural signals.
# Oval windows partitions middle ear and vestibules. Have no role in balance.
# The semicircular canal system (consists of semicircular ducts) is also known as “kinetic labyrinth” because it gives the perception of “relative rotational or angular acceleration.”
