Question

Which structure helps a person to maintain his equilibrium?

• A. Cochlea
• B. Hammer
• C. Semicircular canals
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Semicircular canals

A semicircular canal or a semicircular duct is one of three semicircular, interconnected tubes located inside each ear. The three canals are the horizontal semicircular canal (also known as the lateral semicircular canal), superior semicircular canal (also known as the anterior semicircular canal) and the posterior semicircular canal (also known as the inferior semicircular canal).
It helps in regulating body balance. Endolymph, which is present in the ear plays a major role in regulating body balance.
