The Vestibule and Semicircular Canals. While the cochlea is involved in hearing, the other two parts of the inner ear's bony labyrinth, the vestibule and semicircular canals, are involved in keeping you upright - your sense of balance, that is. The vestibule detects changes in linear acceleration - that is to say, movement in one direction.
The balance system works with the visual and skeletal systems to maintain orientation. Visual signals are sent to the brain and compared to information from the vestibular systems and muscles and joints. An organ in the inner ear, the labyrinth, is a central player in the vestibular or balance system. Inside the labyrinth are three semicircular canals which are filled with fluid. As the head moves, the fluid inside the semicircular canals signals to the brain its relative motion.
