Semicircular canal system (biological)

The semicircular canal system is a set of three tiny, looped tubes in your inner ear that help you sense balance and eye movements. Each canal is positioned at a right angle to the others, detecting rotational movements of your head. When you move, fluid inside these canals shifts, stimulating nerve signals to the brain. This information helps your brain understand your position and maintain stability during motion. The system works closely with other balance components to keep you steady and aware of your orientation in space.
