Dynamic balance
Static balance
Dynamic balance is maintained by three semicircular canals present in each ear which are filled with a fluid known as endolymph.
Static balance is maintained by the vestibule.
The semicircular canal has to swell near one of its ends known as the ampulla which contains sensory hair cells which are embedded in the cupula, a jelly mass of gelatinous material responsible for dynamic balance.
Sensory hair cells of the vestibule, utriculus, and sacculus are concerned with static balance.
