Question

Explain how the ears of a human help control balance.

Answer 1

The semicircular canals of the inner ear help you with balance. When you move your head, fluid inside the semicircular canals moves as well. This movement of the fluid moves the hairs of the canals, creating nerve impulses that travel up to your brain and let it know that your head is off balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Human ear is not only responsible for hearing by also control balance.

Human ear has three sections the outer; middle; and inner ear.

The outer ear consist of pinna and ear lobe, middle ear consist of three tiny bones the malleus, incus and stapes, and inner ear contains cochlea and the vestibular system.

The inner ear carry vestibular system which consist of three semicircular canals, saccule and utricle, responsible for maintaining balance.

The outer ear collects sound waves from outside and guide it to middle ear, and the middle ear changes the sound waves into vibrations and pass it to inner ear. the inner ear utilizes vibrations and send it to nerve impulses. The semicircular canals in the inner ear contains hair cells and fluid and hair cells. When anyone moves their head the fluid in semicircular canals moves along. the motion is then detected by hair cells, which are then send nerve impulses to the brain and functions in maintaining balance.
