Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?

a. maculae/dynamic

b. equilibrium maculae/static

c. equilibrium crista ampullaris/static

d. equilibrium saccule/dynamic equilibrium

The correct answer is option B. maculae / static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Maculae are mechanoreceptors present inside the saccule and utricle specialized for the static equilibrium detecting. Maculae use hair cells to find out the movements of the otolithic membrane occurs, which is the surrounding membrane of the macula.

The sense of the position of the head to determine the stability and posture is static equilibrium and it is determined by the maculae.

Thus, the correct answer is option - B. maculae / static equilibrium.
