outer ear
cochlea
otolith organs
middle ear
The otolith organs in the inner - ear contain tiny crystals (otoconia). When the head (and in this case, while in a moving car) changes position or moves, these crystals move and stimulate hair cells, allowing us to sense linear acceleration and gravity. The outer ear is mainly for collecting sound, the cochlea is for hearing, and the middle ear is for transmitting sound vibrations.
