#488. Name the medical term : A bed of sensory cells situated in the inner ear. It translates head movements into neural impulses which the brain can interpret. It detects linear accelerations and head tilts in the vertical plane. When the head moves vertically, the sensory cells of it are disturbed and the neurons connected to them begin transmitting impulses to the brain. These impulses travel along the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve to the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem.

#489.Name the medical term : (also known as GM2 gangliosidosis or hexosaminidase A deficiency) It is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. In its most common variant, it causes a progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical abilities that begins around six months of age and usually results in death by the age of four. The disease occurs when harmful quantities of cell membrane components known as gangliosides accumulate in the brain's nerve cells, eventually leading to the premature death of the cells.
