Which of the following statements regarding the vestibular system is true?
A) Hair cells in the cochlea are involved in the detection of movement and position of the head
B) Receptors in the utricle and saccule detect changes in position of the head with respect to gravity
C) Fluid in the semicircular canals causes deformation of receptor cells leading to their depolarization in response to changes in angular (rotational) acceleration of the head
D) Both hair cells in the cochlea are involved in the detection of movement and position of the head and receptors in the utricle and saccule detect changes in position of the head with respect to gravity are true
E) Both receptors in the utricle and saccule detect changes in position of the head with respect to gravity and fluid in the semicircular canals causes deformation of receptor cells leading to their depolarization in response to changes in angular (rotational) acceleration of the head are true
