When the surface electrons of a material are disturbed, an imbalance of negative and positive charges arises between the. inter-acting surfaces, and results in the phenomenon known as. static electricity. A deficiency or surplus of a single electron.
Vertigo is usually due to a disturbance in the vestibular system. The vestibular system is one of three sensory systems subserving spatial orientation and posture; the other two are the visual system (retina to occipital cortex) and the. somatosensory system that conveys peripheral information from skin, joint, and muscle receptors.
Causes of vertigo. Vertigo is a symptom of several different conditions. There are two types of vertigo, known as peripheral and central, depending on the cause. Peripheral vertigo. Peripheral vertigo is the most common type, often caused by a problem with the balance mechanisms of the inner ear.
