Where are the semi circular canals in the body?

BRY2K

You can find them in your inner ear. The inner ear can be thought of as two organs: the semicircular canals which serve as the body's balance organ and the cochlea which serves as the body's microphone, converting sound pressure impulses from the outer ear into electrical impulses which are passed on to the brain via the auditory nerve. When you move your head, the liquid in the semicircular canals moves, too. The liquid moves the tiny hairs, which send a nerve message to your brain about the position of your head. In less than a second, your brain sends messages to the right muscles so that you keep your balance. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/Sound/eari.html http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/ears.html May 02 08, 3:42 AM
