| It is usually located on the floor of the utricle or near the junction of the utricle and the saccule. |
| Anteriorly the saccule communicates with the membranous cochlea or scala media by a short ductus reuniens. |
| In the utricle and saccule of the inner ear there are patches of hair cells known as maculae. |
| The sacs of the internal ear, known as the utricle and saccule, receive the impulses of the base of the stapes. |
| However derived, the presence of a saccule is clear indication of an incompetent valve and, therefore, reversed flow down the vein when upright and exercising. |
| In terrestrial vertebrates, otoconia are found in three inner-ear sensors, the saccule, the utricle, and the lagena. |
