| 1. | The saccule gathers sensory information to orient the body in space.
|
| 2. | The otoliths have two components : the utricle and the saccule.
|
| 3. | The saccule detects linear accelerations and head tilts in the vertical plane.
|
| 4. | Both the utricle and the saccule provide information about acceleration.
|
| 5. | The macula of saccule lies in a nearly vertical position.
|
| 6. | The saccule translates head movements into neural impulses which the brain can interpret.
|
| 7. | Static balance is provided by two ventricles, the utricle and the saccule.
|
| 8. | The saccule, or sacculus, is the smaller of the two vestibular sacs.
|
| 9. | For this reason, the saccule is sometimes called an " otolithic organ ."
|
| 10. | Part of the saccule will eventually give rise and connect to the cochlear duct.
