The saccule, like the utricle, provides information to the brain about head position when it is not moving.
22.
They contain the sensory hair cells and otoliths of the macula of utricle and duct that connect the saccule and utricle.
23.
Also shows the utricle and saccule organs that are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line.
24.
The utricle and saccule are sensors for detecting angular or linear acceleration, and the three semicircular canals detect head rotation.
25.
These saccules form at the end of the bronchioles and their appearance marks the point at which limited respiration would be possible.
26.
Bending the stereocilia toward the kinocilium utricle ) or away from ( in the saccule ) a middle line called the striola.
27.
The appendix ( also called the laryngeal saccule, pouch or Hilton's pouch ) extends vertically from the laryngeal ventricle.
28.
Also shows the utricle and saccule-otolithic organs that are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line.
29.
The difference between them is that the utricle is more sensitive to horizontal acceleration, whereas the saccule is more sensitive to vertical acceleration.
30.
For example, the saccule gave rise to the auditory epithelium and corresponding neuronal population of tetrapods, starting possibly in an aquatic environment.
