What is vestibular system
The vestibular system, in vertebrates, is part of the inner ear. In most mammals, it is the sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance
The vestibular system provides the sense of balance and the information about body position that allows rapid compensatory movements in response to both self-induced and externally generated forces.
The vestibular system (inner ear balance mechanism) works with the visual system (eyes and the muscles and parts of the brain that work together to let us 'see') to stop objects blurring when the head moves. It also helps us maintain awareness of positioning when, for example, walking, running or riding in a vehicle.What is vestibular balance disorder? Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms of a vestibular balance disorder.
Balance disorders can strike at any age, but are most common as you get older. Your ear is a complex system of bone and cartilage. Within it is a network of canals.
This chapter provides an overview of the anatomical structures and pathways of the vestibular system. Summary: The five major vestibular structures are located in the inner ear and include: the utricle, the saccule, and the lateral, superior, and posterior semicircular canals.
