"The saccule contains vertically arranged maculae that would provide feedback of body movement in the vertical plane."

The saccule is a group of sensory cells that's in the inner ear. When there head movements that are in the vertical plane, these cells in the macula are disturbed from their position and inform the connecting neurons that movement that's taking place. This information is taken to the vestibular nuclei.
