Which of the following structures of the ear function(s)as (an)organ(s)in the sense of equilibrium?
A)Vestibule and semicircular ducts
B)Cochlea
C)Eustachian tube
D)Pinna
E)Bony labyrinth

Accepted Answer

The vestibule and semicircular ducts are structures of the ear that function as organs in the sense of equilibrium. They contain specialized cells, called hair cells, that detect changes in the position and movement of the head, helping to maintain balance and coordinate movements. The cochlea is responsible for hearing, the Eustachian tube helps regulate pressure in the middle ear, the pinna helps capture sound waves, and the bony labyrinth is a general term for the complex structure of the inner ear that includes the vestibule and semicircular ducts, as well as the cochlea.
