What is Anatomy of the Vestibular System about?
The vestibular system involves five major structures in the inner ear - the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. Hair cells in these structures detect head motion and gravitational forces. Vestibular information is processed in the brainstem and cerebellum, which coordinate reflexes like eye and body movements to maintain balance and orientation. While some connections are known, higher cortical vestibular areas are still poorly understood.
