Vedclass · Answer

(D) The vestibular apparatus,located in the inner ear,is responsible for the maintenance of balance and posture.It consists of two main parts: the semicircular canals and the otolith organ (consisting of the saccule and utricle).$1$. The crista ampullaris is located in the ampulla of each semicircular canal and is responsible for dynamic equilibrium (detecting rotational movement).$2$. The macula is the sensory receptor located in the saccule and utricle,responsible for static equilibrium (detecting gravity and linear acceleration).Therefore,the crista ampullaris and macula are the specific receptors responsible for the maintenance of body balance and posture.

$(a)$ Organ of Corti	$(i)$ Connects middle ear to pharynx
$(b)$ Cochlea	$(ii)$ Coiled portion of the labyrinth
$(c)$ Eustachian tube	$(iii)$ Attached to the oval window
$(d)$ Stapes	$(iv)$ Located on the basilar membrane

Which of the following receptors are specifically responsible for the maintenance of balance of the body and posture?
