Detailed explanation-1: -Utriculus and sacculus (vestibule) are the part of the human ear that give ‘static balance’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vestibule lies between the semicircular canals and the cochlea (eardrum). The vestibule is responsible for maintaining static equilibrium while the semicircular canals maintain dynamic equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -This circuitry starts with the vestibular system: a sensory system in the inner ear that relies on hair cells to detect movements, and to provide our sense of balance and spatial awareness. The vestibular system contains five organs that are sensitive to different types of movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vestibule’s primary purpose is related to your position in the world. Each part of the vestibule continuously sends a signal to your brain and changes in velocity or position either strengthens or weakens the signal sent. This in turn is translated in the brain into your sense of equilibrium.
