Question: In static condition, the body balance is sensed by:

Options:

A) Crista

B) Macula

C) Both [a] and [b]

D) Cochlear canal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] In static condition, the body balance is sensed by macula.

Macula provide information on head position (static equilibrium), as well as linear acceleration and deceleration, a type of dynamic equilibrium.

The macula consist of hair cells with hair bundles and supporting cells.
