                Annotations:

                • - Each are filled with fluid and a small patch of sensory hair cells  - Movements result in fluid flow which displaces hair cells and leads to sensory responses
              3. Principle Planes & Axes
                1. 3 linear Axes: X, Y, Z

                      1. X Axes: From back of the head, through our noes in front of us
                        1. Rotate around these axes (but stay within the plane of the other two)

                            1. Like a cartwheel around the X axes
