Which is an essential part of the maculae involved in static equilibrium?
A) organ of Corti
B) otoliths
C) cupula
D) scala media

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The otoliths are calcium carbonate crystals found in the maculae of the utricle and saccule of the inner ear. They are an essential part of the static equilibrium system and help to detect changes in head position and gravity. The other options (A, C, and D) are not involved in static equilibrium but rather are involved in hearing (organ of Corti), dynamic equilibrium (cupula), and fluid movement within the cochlea (scala media).
