Gland Vestibular Small

The minor vestibular gland (lat. G. vestibularis minor) is a small gland that is located in the pyramids of the temporal bones in the ear. It is responsible for maintaining balance and orientation in space.

The small vestibular gland consists of two parts: the sac and the cochlea. The saccule is a liquid-filled sac that contains calcium carbonate crystals. The cochlea is a spiral structure that contains sensory cells that respond to movement and changes in pressure.

When a person moves or changes the position of his body, the fluid in the sac begins to move, which causes a change in pressure on the sensory cells. This change in pressure is transmitted along the cochlea and causes a signal to be sent to the brain. The brain uses this signal to determine body position and orientation in space.

The vesicular minor gland plays an important role in maintaining a person's balance and orientation in space, and its dysfunction can lead to various diseases such as Meniere's disease and vertigo.

In addition, research shows that vestibular exercises, such as balance training and yoga, can help improve the function of the vestibular gland and increase resilience to changes in body position.

The vestibular gland, or small vestibular glands (lat. glandulae vestibulares - glands that open in the vestibule), also known as small vestibular foramina, are a pair of glands opening at the anterior end in the jugular fossa of the sternum, which play an important role in maintaining the position of the head
