Answer:

The semicircular canals ( vestibular system)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner ear of humans is made up of two parts.

  • The cochlea which aid in the hearing process.
  • The vestibular system which aid for balance of the body

The vestibular system comprises of three fluid filled looped canals . The vestibular system comprises of sensory cells which detect even a slight tilting of the head. The fluid filled canals are termed as the semicircular canals. It is due to the vestibular system that we feel a room to bespinning even after we have finished our rotation ride.
