Balance

Feeling dizzy? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the concept of balance! In this educational, animated movie, you’ll learn why you get dizzy when you spin around, how you detect sound and motion, and where the labyrinth and semi-circular canals are found in your body. Find out about the special parts of the inner ear, like the utricle and saccule, and how they help you locate your position in space. Discover what specific signals your eyes rely on to help them focus and why some people get travel sickness. Everything–from your ears, eyes, and skin to your muscles, spinal cord, and brain–plays a role in your sense of balance. Woah, everything’s spinning!
