Vestibular Hair Cells
The Silent Maestros Of Balance
Vestibular hair cells are crucial mechanoreceptors located in our inner ear. Their primary function is to convert head and body movements into neural signals. Our brain interprets them, enabling us to maintain balance and spatial orientation. These cells are essential for our everyday mobility and coordination.
