The semicircular canals are three semicircular interconnected tubes located in the innermost part of each ear, the inner ear. The three canals are the...

structure of the sensorium is unknown. The semicircular canal system detects rotational movements. Semicircular canals are its main tools to achieve this detection...

The semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) is a category of rare neurotological diseases/disorders affecting the inner ears, which gathers the superior SCD...

otolith organs, while angular accelerations are detected by the semicircular canals. Without a visual reference or cues, such as a visible horizon, humans...

utricle, and over time, migrate into one of the three semicircular canals (the posterior canal is most commonly affected due to its anatomical position)...

bony semicircular canals allow estimates of duct arc length and orientation with respect to the sagittal plane. Across species, the semicircular canals of...

the semicircular canal was not held horizontally in the resting pose as inferred. The authors therefore cautioned against using semicircular canals as...

accelerations. Stimulation of the semicircular canals occurs when the movement of the endolymph inside the canals causes movement of the crista ampullaris...

major parts of the bony labyrinth are the vestibule of the ear, the semicircular canals, and the cochlea. The membranous labyrinth runs inside of the bony...

disorientation for aviators. Through stabilization of the fluid in the semicircular canals, a pilot may perceive straight and level flight while actually in...

The vestibular system, the region of the inner ear where three semicircular canals converge, works with the visual system to keep objects in focus when...

through the three semicircular canals. These three canals are orthogonal (at right angles) to each other. At the end of each canal is a slight enlargement...

moved. Humans have semicircular canals, neck muscle "stretch" receptors, and the utricle (gravity organ). Though the semicircular canals cause most of the...

are canals and the third is the 'organ of Corti' which detects pressure impulses that travel along the auditory nerve to the brain. The two canals are...

sleeve that lines the semicircular canals. The canals also contain the crista ampullaris. The receptor cells located in the semicircular ducts are innervated...

rotating eyes in the opposite direction of the respective axis. The semicircular canals in the vestibule of the ear sense angular acceleration, and send...

This goes on to affect the vestibular system, particularly the semicircular canals which are affected by the acceleration. This causes a sense of dizziness...

medial to the eardrum, behind the cochlea, and in front of the three semicircular canals. The name comes from the Latin vestibulum, literally an entrance...

spatial orientation information to the brain from the semicircular canals, also known as semicircular ducts. In terms of anatomy, an auditory nerve fiber...

gravity through the otoliths, and angular acceleration through the semicircular canals. The reflex uses a combination of visual system inputs, vestibular...

movement. If they fall from the utricle and become loose in the semicircular canals, they can distort the sense of movement and cause a mismatch between...

the two otolith organs (the utricle and the saccule) and the three semicircular canals via the vestibular ganglion of Scarpa. Information from the otolith...

The cupula is located within the ampullae of each of the three semicircular canals. Part of the crista ampullaris, the cupula has embedded within it...

anterior canals of the ear. The maneuver works by allowing free-floating particles, displaced otoconia, from the affected semicircular canal to be relocated...

of the membrane space of the semicircular canals in the ear differs from the specific gravity of the fluid in the canals because of the presence of alcohol...

eraser, the vestibular system contains two distinct structures: the semicircular canals, which detect changes in angular acceleration, and the otolith organs...

vertebrates, which have three semicircular canals in each inner ear, lampreys have only two and hagfishes just one. The semicircular canal of hagfishes contains...

parallel to the semicircular canal, the fluid lags, deflecting the cupula in the direction opposite to the head movement. The semicircular canals contain several...
