Then 6 questions in which one will be on test one. It allows us to understand where our body is in space, we can feel" where our body is without seeing it. 2 main parts to it : otolith organs are inside your ear (like inner ear fluid) Image plate with bowl of jello that has rocks in it, when shake plate jello moves side to side. This is what happens when we move our head around. Jello" reaches other hair cells as tilt head around. Otolithic fires neurons always, but once tilt head they fire faster or slower depending on how tilting head. Like in elevator, can tsee anything but you can feel yourself moving up. Need to know linear and angular accelerations (spinning).
