The inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance. One of the diseases affecting the inner ear is Meniere's disease. Affected individuals often experience vertigo, among other symptoms. Vertigo is a sensation that the surrounding is spinning or swaying in the absence of any body movement. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the affected structure and process in individuals experiencing vertigo? Select one: a. Structure  Process   Semicircular canals   Rotational equilibrium b. Structure  Process Semicircular canals   Gravitational equilibrium c. Structure  Process   Organ of Corti   Gravitational equilibrium d. Structure  Process Organ of Corti   Rotational equilibrium
