houses hearing and equilibrium receptors
The receptors for static equilibrium are located in the vestibule of the inner ear. These receptors help us maintain balance and a sense of spatial orientation when the head is still.
The receptors for dynamic equilibrium respond to rotation forces.
The receptors for hearing are located in the cochlea of the inner ear, while the receptors for equilibrium (balance) are located in the vestibular system, which includes the semicircular canals and otolithic organs within the inner ear.
The receptors that detect tactile cues such as touch, pressure, hearing, and equilibrium are mechanoreceptors. These specialized sensory receptors are located in the skin, inner ear, and other parts of the body, and they respond to mechanical stimuli such as vibration, pressure, and movement. Mechanoceptors play a critical role in our ability to perceive and respond to sensory information related to touch, balance, and hearing.

Dynamic semicircular canals
The central nervous system monitors equilibrium and the activities of muscles and joints through sensory receptors located in the muscles, joints, and inner ear. These receptors send signals to the brain, which processes the information and coordinates the appropriate muscle responses to maintain balance and posture.

Dynamic equilibrium receptors, specifically located in the inner ear, are responsible for detecting the position and movement of the head with respect to gravity when the body is not in motion. They ensure that the brain is constantly informed about the head's orientation, helping us to maintain balance and stability even when we are not actively moving.
The semicircular canal is found in the inner ear and is responsible for individuals being able to keep their balance. There is a sort of bulbous structure at the end of the semicircular canal called the ampulla which is where the receptors of equilibrium are located.
