Vestibule Diagram: A complex diagram illustrating the anatomy and function of the vestibular system. The diagram includes various structures, such as the semicircular canals, utricle, saccule, hair cells, otoconia, and vestibular nerve. Arrows indicate the flow of information and connections between different structures. The diagram is color-coded for better organization. Text: Semicircular canals Horizontal, anterior vertical, posterior vertical Detect angular acceleration Utricle Detects linear acceleration (horizontal movement) Maculae Hair cells Otoconia Saccule Detects linear acceleration (vertical movement) Maculae Hair cells Otoconia Vestibular hair cells Type I and Type II Stereocilia Kinocilium Endolymph Hair bundle deflection Opening of ion channels Depolarization Action potentials Vestibular nerve Brainstem Cerebellum Otoconia Calcium carbonate crystals Help detect linear acceleration Gellaitinous membrane Gel-like substance surrounding hair cells Contains otoconia
