Hair Cells — role?
Transduce mechanical stimuli into nerve signals.
Otoliths — function?
Detect linear acceleration and head position.
Cochlear Duct — structure?
Contains the spiral organ for hearing.
Maculae — location?
Within utricle and saccule of inner ear.
Otoliths — function?
Detect linear acceleration and head position.
Hair cells — role?
Convert mechanical stimuli into nerve signals.
Otolithic membrane — composition?

Horizontal vs vertical maculae?
Utricle detects horizontal, saccule detects vertical movements.
Stereocilia — function?
Bend to trigger nerve impulses.
Basilar membrane — role?
Vibrates with sound to activate hair cells.
