Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensation of spinning after stopping is caused by the semicircular canals in the inner ear. These canals contain fluid and tiny hair cells that detect changes in head movement and rotation, sending signals to the brain. When Ellis spins in a circle, the fluid in these canals continues to move even after he stops, confusing the brain and causing the sensation of spinning.
