Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a disorder where some of the calcium carbonate crystals in the utricle migrate into the semicircular canals. Why does this condition cause periods of dizziness? a. The hair cells in the semicircular canals will be constantly activated. b. The hair cells in the semicircular canals will now be stimulated by gravity. c. The utricle will no longer recognize acceleration. d. There will be too much volume in the semicircular canals for them to detect motion.
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
