Semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule {vestibular system}| work together. Vestibular system detects rotary and linear accelerations and body positions. Vestibular system maintains balance. All vertebrates have semicircular canals to detect accelerations.
Gravity makes constant force, and vestibular systems are similar, so balance feelings are similar, for all undamaged people.
Body-equilibrium neurons continuously stimulate motor nerves. If body-equilibrium nerves have damage, body becomes weak [Cole, 1995] [Lee and Lishman, 1975].
