The vestibular system is a sensory system that helps us to maintain balance and body orientation. It is located in the inner ear and is responsible for detecting movement, acceleration, and changes in head position.

The vestibular system consists of several structures in the inner ear, including the vestibular labyrinth, which is made up of the vestibule and the semicircular canals. The vestibule is responsible for detecting linear acceleration and changes in head position, while the semicircular canals are responsible for detecting rotational movement.

The vestibular system is important for maintaining balance and body orientation, as well as for coordinating eye movements and controlling muscle tone. It plays a vital role in our ability to walk, run, and move around in the environment.

Disruptions or problems with the vestibular system can lead to balance and coordination problems, dizziness, and difficulty with physical activities. In some cases, vestibular dysfunction may also contribute to difficulty with attention and concentration.
