Emmi has not been feeling well. Suddenly, she is unable to stand or keep her balance, and she can barely hear. Fearing something terrible, she goes to the doctor, who tells her she simply has a cold that is affecting her vestibular system. Briefly describe how Emmi's vestibular system is connected to a cold.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. A sample answer follows. Emmi's vestibular system controls her sense of balance. The vestibular system is in the ear, and shares components with the structures that help Emmi hear. The excess fluid cause by her cold can clog both the vestibular system and Emmi's auditory system, causing her to both lose her balance and her hearing due to the cold.
