Presentation Transcript

  1. A&P Unit 4Lecture 6B

  2. Two Kinds of Equilibrium • Static equilibrium: Refers to the maintenance • of body (head) position relative to the force of • gravity. • Dynamic equilibrium: Refers to the maintenance • of the body (head) in response to sudden • movements such as rotation, acceleration, • and deceleration

  3. Gross Anatomy of the Vestibular apparatus

  4. Components of the Vestibular Nerve

  5. Static Equilibrium • The receptors for static equilibrium are the Utricle and the Saccule

  6. Location and structure of the receptors in the macula for static equilibrium

  7. How the macula functions in relation to gravity

  8. Dynamic Equilibrium • The receptors for dynamic equilibrium are the semicircular canals

  9. Anatomy of the Semicircular canal receptors called ampulla

  10. How the Ampulla function to produce dynamic equilibrium sensations

  11. Pathway for Vestibular System
