Summary
[edit]DescriptionInner ear's cupula transmitting indication of acceleration.jpg |
A diagram of the parts of the inner ear's vestibular system that convert movement and tilt (of the head) to sensation. When movement of the endolymph causes the cupula to bend, sensory hair cells generate nerve impulses which the brain perceives as angular acceleration. |
