How ear helps in maintaining the balance and posture of the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear and balance: The 3 semicircular canals in our inner ear contain nerve endings that will sense our body movement and position in relationship to gravity. The information is sent to our brain to help maintaining balance and posture.
