AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Information coming from the vestibular system is processed in the brain and then sent on to other organs that need this information, such as the eyes, joints or muscles. This allows us to keep our balance and know what position our body is in.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vestibular sense, also known as the movement, gravity and/or balance sense, allows us to move smoothly. We are able to maintain our balance while engaged in activities because of this sense. While vestibular helps us with balance while we walk and run, it also helps us stay upright when we sit and stand.

Detailed explanation-3: -Awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body using sensory organs in joints and muscles. Kinesthesia is a key component in muscle memory and hand-eye coordination. It is more behavioral than proprioception. You are aware of your arm movement while swinging a golf club.

Detailed explanation-4: -Input from touch can also indicate directionality and the type of surface we are on. The vestibular system senses the orientation of our body relative to gravity and thus helps us maintain balance. It can also provide sensory information about motion and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Proprioception (or kinesthesia) is the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body, including our sense of equilibrium and balance, senses that depend on the notion of force (Jones, 2000).
