Macular organs
Together with the semicircular canals, the macular organs form the vestibular system in the inner ear of vertebrates. They consist of two structures positioned perpendicular to each other, the saccule and the utricle. This alignment enables the macular organs to perceive linear accelerations of the body in space along all three spatial axes: up-down, front-back, left and right.
