Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the inner ear, which consists of three main parts: the cochlea, the vestibule, and the semicircular canals.
Recognize that the vestibule is a central part of the bony labyrinth in the inner ear, connecting the cochlea and the semicircular canals.
Identify the saccule as one of the two otolithic organs located within the vestibule, the other being the utricle.
Note that the saccule and utricle are responsible for detecting linear accelerations and head positions relative to gravity.
Conclude that the saccule is specifically located in the vestibule, not in the cochlea, semicircular canals, or tympanic cavity.
