Dizziness

[deleted-89905]

So, I have a question (duh). The question is " How does the ears and the eyes work together to help maintain our balance?" To answer, don't send me to other links and try to help without them, but if you need to, you could.


I'm doing more research to learn more about my project .

Hi Arman92,

You have a very interesting question! Your project status indicates that you are finished with your experiment and analyzing the data. Does that mean that you have completed your background research?

If you tell us more about your project, we can help you answer specific questions. The question you have posted is quite broad and is something that is best answered with your background research.

Let us know if you have more specific questions regarding your project.

What you want to look for is the vestibular system. We aren't supposed to outright give you the answers, so here's a link (and I know you don't want one) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. It mostly has to do with the middle ear which helps sense the position of your head, and your eyes sense the position of you body in space. Yous should also look up kinesthetics which allows your joints to sense where they are in space.

Wikipedia isn't a trusted site, it can be changed by anyone. Thx for the joint idea

Hi Arman92,

It's true that you cannot cite Wikipedia as a trusted source, but it will give you some ideas to get started and often includes trusted references in its bibliography.

If you need primary sources, you can search key terms in Google Scholar. You can also look in textbooks to learn some basics about the vestibular system as you develop your project idea.

Hope that helps.

I did more research and what is "orientation with respect to gravity"

[KEV1N.T.103]

what the ssssssugar man i think ur the dizzy one :d

[deleted-71536]

Hi Arman92,

Your "orientation with respect to gravity" has to do with your body position. Are you standing, lying down, or leaning at an angle? Since gravity pulls toward the center of the earth (which is straight toward the ground from our perspective), your "orientation" generally has to do with your body position relative to the ground.

Does that help?
