Final answer:

The saccule and utricle are the otolithic organs that sense changes in head position to maintain static equilibrium.


Explanation:

The otolithic organs responsible for sensing changes in head position relative to gravity to maintain static equilibrium are the saccule and utricle. These structures, collectively known as the otolith organs, detect gravity through head tilt and linear acceleration, with the saccule sensitive to vertical movements and the utricle responsive to horizontal movements.
