Hello Dear.

Here is the answer---

→→→→→→→→→

Inner Ear Maintains the Equilibrium of the Body.

Only Auditory Nerve Transfers the Signals of Hearing to the Brain which in Turn Causes the Perception of the Sound.

Inner Ear has three Main Parts which have its own Functions in Maintaining the Equilibrium of the Body.

⇒ Semi Circular Canals ⇒ It is a set of three fluid filled canals arranged at the right angles to each other. One end of Each canals enlarges into a cavity called Ampulla. The Cristae in the Semicircular Canals Maintains the Dynamic Equilibrium of the Body.

⇒ Vestibule ⇒ It Consist of the Utricle and Saccule which maintains the Static Equilibrium of the Body. 

⇒ Cochlea ⇒ It helps in the Transformation of the sound Vibrations into Nerve Impulse which in turn passes to the auditory Canal which performs it to the Brain and thus causes the Perception of the Sound.

Answer 2

Yes, auditory nerve helps the body to maintain equilibrium.

Explanation:

Ear is an important organ in organisms which helps them to hear the sound. It has three major parts:

• External ear
• Middle ear
• Internal ear.

Apart from hearing it is also responsible for maintaining equilibrium, which is done in 'vestibule' and 'semicircular canals'.

Many sensory receptors gives information to brain. Eyes and ear proprioceptors in tendons, joints and muscles are important to inform about equilibrium to the brain.
