Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The semicircular canals in the inner ear are the ones aligned in three different planes all perpendicular to each other, allowing for detection of changes in head rotation and balance.

 The utricle and saccule in the inner ear contain tiny hairs that are set in a gelatinous material which moves in response to movement. This allows for detection of changes in head position and linear acceleration.
