Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Body balance is maintained in accordance with the movement of the head. Whenever we turn our head, the inner ear turns along with it. But it takes a very brief moment for the fluid in the semicircular canals to move with our head too. This means that the sensory hair cells in the ear are bent by the “slow” fluid. The hair cells then send this information to the brain via nerves.The organ of balance is the vestibular system and is found inside the inner ear. It is made up of semicircular canals.
