What is the semicircular canal do?

Answer 1

The semicircular canals are three passages each forming a circle and each in a different plane. They have nothing to do with hearing, but instead send signals to your brain regarding equilibrium. So, basically, they give you balance.

There are two types of equilibrium: Static (your head isn't moving, just gravity) and dynamic (when your head is moving, or your turning a sharp corner in the car)

The semicircular canals keep you from tipping over.

Answer 2

The semicircular canals helps animals keep their balance. It's a fluid that jumbles around, and your brain helps you know when you're off balance. You know when you spin around for a long time? The fluid keeps on moving, and that's when you stumble around after a long spin. You know you've stopped, but the fluid in the semicircular canals keeps on moving.

The inner ear includes the three semicircular canals. They (plus the base of each called the ampullaris) are involved in:

1. Static Equilibrium in the ampulla which contains the sense for position of head when body is not moving.

2. Dynamic Equilibrium in the semicircular canals which senses rotation and movement of head and body.

Answer 5

The semicircular canals of the ear are important in balance. Balance sensations from these structures and the information from the eyes go to the cerebellum where our brains interpret what we call balance.

Answer 6

It is the organ for the sense of balance.
