We really need so more information!!! Can anyone with experience in this area please make an addition. eg. more detailed descriptions about functions, appearance, etc...

and what do they do to give you balance? i just cnat figure that one out —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.30.231.242 ( talk) 17:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
This contradicts the pages superior and posterior semicircular canals when referring to the type of rotation detected by each component. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkokavec ( talk • contribs) 04:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
According to this article, the superior(anterior) and posterior semicircular canals are not aligned parallel/orthogonal to the nasal-occipital axis. That is, these canals are not aligned so as to detect only nodding or cartwheeling head motions. Instead, they are aligned at a ~45 degree angle to the nasal-occipital axis.
I'm going to go ahead and change the article to reflect this. Also, I think that the section talking about how the canals are not perfectly orthogonal is a bit confusing and unnecessary. Even if this is true, saying it here only serves to obscure the function of the canals as head motion detectors. Furthermore, the article I linked above suggests that the canals are in fact very close to mutually orthogonal.

Most of the page is describing the semicircular canals and all of it is covered on target page Iztwoz ( talk) 17:25, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Done
The result of the move request was: Move. Cúchullain t/ c 14:57, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
