Imagine that a patient has damage to the semicircular canals on one side

of the head only. What would you expect to happen. (2choose1)

A.
The patient would lose one member of the pair of opponent angular motion
channels. They would therefore perceive the world as spinning.

B.
Since the damaged vestibular system cannot send any nerve impulses, nothing
would happen. The patient would simply have less good balance because he
lost half of his vestibular input.​​
