Which two events can cause an identical response in the otolith organs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The otolith organs are responsible for detecting linear acceleration and changes in head position with respect to gravity. Both of these can cause a change in the position of the otolith stones, which results in a similar response from the vestibular system. Linear velocity (B) and rotational velocity (D) are detected by the semicircular canals, not the otolith organs. Rotational acceleration (C) can also be detected by the semicircular canals, but it would result in a different response compared to static head tilt.
