D) ampulla
Static Equilibrium
A state where an object is at rest, and all the forces acting upon it are balanced.
Maculae
Maculae are small, specialized regions in the sensory epithelia, notably in the vestibular system of the ear and the retina, involved in detecting balance and visual changes respectively.
Cristae
The folds of the inner membrane of mitochondria, where the electron transport chain takes place.
