Examples of vestibular in the following topics:
-
- Two additional sensory systems are proprioception (which interprets body position) and the vestibular system (which interprets balance).
- The vestibular system is the sensory system that contributes to balance and the sense of spatial orientation.
- Some signals from the vestibular system are sent to the neural structures that control eye movements and provide us with clear vision, a process known as the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
- While both the vestibular system and proprioception contribute to the "sense of balance," they have different functions.
- The vestibular system, together with the cochlea, makes up the workings of the inner ear and provides us with our sense of balance.
-
- Two other senses, kinesthesia and the vestibular senses, have become widely recognized by scientists.
- Vestibular senses detect gravity, linear acceleration (such as speeding up or slowing down on a straight road), and rotary acceleration (such as speeding up or slowing down around a curve).
- Both kinesthesia and the vestibular senses help us to balance.
-
- Within the cochlea there are three fluid-filled spaces: the tympanic canal, the vestibular canal, and the middle canal.
