Why do I feel dizzy when I spin?

Answer 1

Inside your ears are tubes filled with liquid. The liquid moves when you move, telling your brain what position your body is in. When you spin, the liquid also spins. The liquid continues to spin after you stop. Your brain thinks you’re still spinning, so you continue to feel that everything is going in circles-until the liquid stops moving..

Answer 2

This happens because, Inside our ears there is an organ termed as vestibular organ which continuously tries to measure the rotation. The organ consists of a fluid which starts spinning as soon we start rotating so as to send message to the brain about the spin and to balance ourselves. But when we stop suddenly the fluid keeps on spinning and gradually comes to a hault thus, the brain gets the message that the body is still rotating.
This can also be better understood by the example of an egg.
Take an egg and rotate it, stop it suddenly. Result-- the egg will keep spinning even after you physically stop it because of the momentum of the fluid incide the egg which still moves and gradually comes to a hault.

Answer 3

Your internal ear has two parts: upper utriculus and lower sacculus. The former is concerned with balancing and the latter with hearing.
Utriculus has three semicircular canals. Each canal has two limbs, each ending in ampulla having otoconia(ear stone) or otoconia and sensory cells. Each semicircular canal is filled with endolymph. When you spin the fluid in the canal also moves and strikes the ear stone which in turn hits the sensory cells and you get the feeling that you are spinning. When you stop. your eyes tells you that, but the fluid in the semicircular canals is still in motion, pressing the ear stone the stone hitting the sensory cells and you get the feeling that you are spinning. When the fluid will stop its movements a few seconds later you will not feel the spin.

Answer 4

We have a balance sensing organ in our inner ears called the vestibular organ. It consists of a fluid, hair cells, and other structures. When we spin, the fluid moves. When we stop, the fluid is still sloshing around in there and is interpreted as us still spinning. Our eyes, however, tell us we are not. There is a conflict of inputs, so we feel dizzy.

Answer 5

Ur inner ear consistes of an organ called cochlea which contains a liquid which balances ur body. When u spin, it also spins, when u stop, it takes a bit of time to stop cause of inertia. This causes u to feel dizzy and hav blurred vision as well.

Answer 6

Because the semicircular canals in your inner ear measure acceleration, which includes spinning (when you spin, you're accelerating in a circle all the time, even if your velocity stays the same). Anyway, these canals contain fluid that moves when you move your head.

If you stop moving suddenly, then the fluid KEEPS moving, which makes your ears think your body is still moving.

When your ears think your body is moving, but your eyes tell your brain that your body is perfectly still, your brain gets confused, and you get dizzy.

Answer 7

ear is the organ that keeps our body stable,imean correct position. so when you spin,the fluid inside ur ear also rotates and when you come to a stop , the fluid doesnt came to an abrupt stop. it still is moving on account of inertia of motion.so u feel dizzy since the fluid which balances ur body itself rotates!!!!!!!!!!

coz u r not alright... ;-)
