Definitions:

Action Potentials

Brief electrical impulses that serve as the fundamental signals by which information is transmitted along nerve cells.

Endolymph

A fluid contained in the inner ear, playing a critical role in translating the movements of the head into neural signals for the brain to interpret balance and spatial orientation.

Hair Cells

Sensory cells located in the inner ear that are critical for hearing and balance, converting mechanical sound waves into neural signals.

Slowly Adapting Receptors

Sensory receptors in the body that respond to a stimulus over an extended period, gradually decreasing in activity.
