The receptors that respond to gravity are located in this part of the ear:
A)oval window
B)semicircular canals
C)cochlea
D)utricle and saccule

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The utricle and saccule are the two otolith organs located in the inner ear that contain receptors responsible for detecting changes in linear acceleration and head position relative to gravity. The semicircular canals, located adjacent to the utricle and saccule, contain receptors responsible for detecting changes in rotational acceleration. The oval window and cochlea are involved in the detection of sound waves.
