Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the reason why we are able to properly plant our feet on the ground while walking without having to look down all the time?
A
This is because of the exteroreceptors present in skin of our feet
B
This is because of the interoreceptors present in the muscles of our calf
C
This is because of the proprioceptors found in our ankle joint
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proprioception, also called kinesthesia, is the body’s ability to sense its location, movements, and actions. It’s the reason we’re able to move freely without consciously thinking about our environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proprioception results from sensory receptors in your nervous system and body. Most of these receptors are located in your muscles, joints, and tendons. When you move, the receptors send detailed messages to your brain about your positions and actions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proprioceptive Dysfunction Sensory Seeking (pushes, writes too hard, plays rough, bangs or shakes feet while sitting, chews, bites, and likes tight clothes) Poor Motor Planning/Control & Body Awareness (difficulty going up and down stairs, bumps into people and objects frequently, difficulty riding a bike)

Detailed explanation-4: -Proprioception as the ability of an organism to perceive the position and movements of joints and the perception of force in space allows us to better understand our movement and posture. Proprioception is closely related to balance.
