Which five organs make up the vestibular system? A. Three semicircular canals and two otolith organs B. Two semicircular canals
enot [183]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The vestibular system is a part of the inner ear that provides the most important contribution to the sense of balance and coordinating movement with balance. This system is made up of two parts which are the three semicircular canals and the two otolith organs. The two otolith organs are the saccule and the utricle. The utricle is sensitive to changes with regards to horizontal movement and the saccule provides information about vertical acceleration. They are able to do this due to their orientation in the inner ear providing spatial orientation with regards to movement and balance. the three semi circular canals includes the horizontl, poterior and the superior semicircular canals. they provide sensory inputs.
