vestibular complex includes what - Answersvestibule and semicircular canals
vestibular comple also contains what - Answerstwo sac-like, membranous labyrinth parts-- the utricle
and saccule
how are the utricle and saccule connected - Answersinterconnected through a narrow passageway
semicircular ducts - Answersmembranous labryinth of the semicircular canals of the vestibular complex
cochlea house what - Answersmembranous labryinth called the cochlear duct
what is within the bony labyrinth - Answersmembranous labyrinth, receptors for equilibrium and
hearing
membranous labyrinth - Answersmembrane-lined, fluid-filled tubes and spaces
equilibrium - Answersrotation of head causes endolymph within the semicircular canal to push against
the cupula covering the hair cells resulting in bending of their stereocilia and the intiation of a nerve
impulse
utricle and saccule report on what - Answersposition of head and acceleration
semicircular canals report on what - Answers3-d plane
vestibulocochlear nerve function-- equilibrium and balance - Answers1. hair cells in vestibule and
semicircular canals are stimulated
2. sensory neurons in vestibular ganglia carry information through vestibular branch of vestibulocochlear
nerve
3 vestibular nuclei integrate information from both ears and relay to cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and
motor nuclei of brain stem and spinal cord
4. motor responses
what is a motor response for equilibrium or balance - Answersautomatic movement of eyes
what directs the automatic movement of eyes and what is it attempting to do - Answersdirected by
superior colliculi
attempts to keep gaze focused on point despite movement
