Summary Introduction
To write:
The reason of the use of statolithsis unique to animals.
Introduction:
Statolith can refer to a statocyst structure that makes it possible to feel gravity and balance to certain invertebrates. The statocyst is a sensory receptor of the balance found in some aquatic invertebrates, including molluscs, bivalves, cnidarians, ctenophorans, echinoderms, cephalopods, and crustaceans.
