Answer: Semi circular canals.

Step-by-step explanation: These are three fluid filled canals located in the inner ear that is helps us to maintain the balance.

When the head is moved around, the fluid moves the hair inside and these tiny hair sens the message to the nerve cell ( brain).

But when you move around the liquid keeps on sending the message to the brain that you are moving a bit longer and the body loses its balance.
