The answer is the third one: Inner ear.

Explanation for each option:

  • Cerebellum: Incorrect. The cerebellum is involved in coordinating voluntary movements and maintaining posture, balance, and equilibrium, but it does not contain the sensory receptors for equilibrium.
  • Brainstem: Incorrect. The brainstem plays a role in various autonomic functions and relays information between the brain and the body, but it does not house the sensory receptors for equilibrium.
  • Inner ear: Correct. The sensory receptors for equilibrium are located in the inner ear, specifically in the vestibular system, which includes the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule.
  • Cardiac muscle: Incorrect. Cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body and does not contain sensory receptors for equilibrium.

Summary: The sensory receptors for equilibrium are located in the inner ear.
