Answer:
The ability to detect gravity and the body’s motion may be one of the most ancient senses. In vertebrates, the complex vestibular system handles this task via the otolith organs and semicircular canals of the inner ear. Invertebrates rely on a simpler structure known as a statocyst to sense their own movement and body position relative to the Earth’s gravitational pull. Even comb jellies (ctenophores), which may have been the first multicellular animals to evolve, have a rudimentary statocyst—essentially, a weight resting on four springs that bend when the organism tilts in the water.
