Some body help me,

* What is the function of the utricles and saccules?

For the first question try:
http://www.fcla.edu/FlaEnt/fe82p546.htm
You will have to search the article a bit but the information is there.
For the second questions I can tell you that the utricles and saccules are sensitive to linear acceleration.
Good luck

Range of receptors... wow great query
Well receptors are proteins... and the range of proteins is limited and they get denatured after the critical point
Thye act best on optimal points..
As far as the antenae,utricles and saccules are concerned,they are sensitive to air currents ,some higher range wavelengths and lower energy radiations.
