Question

Brief Explanations
- Semicircular canals: These are part of the inner ear's vestibular system. They are filled with endolymph (a fluid). When the head moves, the fluid moves, which helps in detecting rotational movements and maintaining balance.
- Olfactory receptor cells: These are bipolar neurons. Their dendritic end has olfactory hairs (also called cilia). These cilia are covered with mucus. Odorant molecules dissolve in the mucus and bind to receptors on the cilia, initiating the sense of smell.
