Question
movement of fluid in the semicircular canals will cause the cupula to displace and bend the stereocilia to create an action potential. a true b false clear selection
The semicircular canals are part of the inner - ear's vestibular system. When the head moves, the fluid (endolymph) in the semicircular canals moves. This movement causes the cupula, a gelatinous structure, to displace. The displacement of the cupula bends the stereocilia of the hair cells, which leads to the generation of an action potential. This is a key mechanism in the body's sense of balance and spatial orientation.
