Analyzer Vestibular

Vestibular analyzer - this is the part of the nervous system that is responsible for perceiving the position and movement of the body in space. It consists of three main components: otoliths, saccules and semicircular canals.

Otoliths are calcium carbonate crystals that are found in sacs at the bottom of the inner ear. When the body moves, the otolith sacs begin to rotate, which causes a change in pressure on the otoliths. This change in pressure is registered by the semicircular canals, and information about this is transmitted to the brain.

The semicircular canals are structures in the inner ear that are shaped like semicircles. They are located in three planes: horizontal, vertical and sagittal. When the body begins to move, the semicircular canals begin to rotate, causing pressure changes on them. This pressure is recorded and transmitted to the brain, where information about the position of the body in space is analyzed.
