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.
