Why Do We Get Dizzy?

The video explains why we feel dizzy, focusing on the role of the inner ear. It describes how the inner ear helps maintain balance through fluid-filled loops and tiny hairs that send signals to the brain. When we spin, the fluid in these loops continues to move even after we stop, causing a sensation of dizziness. The video provides a detailed look at the inner ear's structure and function, helping viewers understand the connection between ear anatomy and balance.

What common experience is used to introduce the concept of dizziness in the video?

• Running in a straight line

• Jumping on a trampoline

• Spinning on a playground ride

• Riding a bicycle

What part of the ear is primarily responsible for helping us maintain balance?

• Outer ear

• Middle ear

• Inner ear

• Earlobe

How do the tiny hairs in the inner ear help us understand our head's position?

• They produce fluid

• They change color

• They send signals to the brain

• They vibrate to create sound

What happens to the fluid in the inner ear when you spin rapidly?

• It solidifies

• It evaporates

• It remains still

• It sloshes around

Why do you feel like you're still moving even after you stop spinning?

• The body is still physically moving

• The fluid in the inner ear is still moving

• The eyes are still adjusting

• The brain is slow to process movement
