Which of the following structures does not play a role in the sensory detection of equilibrium?
A
Cochlea
B
Utricle
C
Semicircular canals
D
Saccule
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each structure in the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and equilibrium.
The cochlea is part of the inner ear but is primarily involved in hearing, not balance.
The utricle and saccule are part of the vestibular system and detect linear accelerations and head position relative to gravity.
The semicircular canals are also part of the vestibular system and detect rotational movements of the head.
Identify that the cochlea, unlike the utricle, saccule, and semicircular canals, does not contribute to the sensory detection of equilibrium.
