Explain how structures within the saccule would respond to descending in an elevator from the fifteenth floor to the third floor?
What will be an ideal response?
When the elevator is not moving, the hair cells of the saccule are horizontal and embedded in a gelatinous matrix topped with tiny, calcium carbonate stones. As the elevator descends, the stones are pulled upward, causing the hairs of the hair cells to deflect upward as well. The brain interprets this upward deflection as "going down" in the elevator.
