sentido vestibular
Scope note: Funciones sensitivas que transducen los estímulos recibidos por los receptores propioceptivos de las articulaciones, músculos y OÍDO INTERNO en impulsos nerviosos para ser transmitidos al SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL. La propiocepción proporciona la percepción de las posiciones estacionarias y los movimientos de las partes del cuerpo, importante para mantener la CINESTESIA y el EQUILIBRIO POSTURAL.

Scope note: Sensory functions that transduce stimuli received by proprioceptive receptors in joints, tendons, muscles, and the INNER EAR into neural impulses to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Proprioception provides sense of stationary positions and movements of one's body parts, and is important in maintaining KINESTHESIA and POSTURAL BALANCE.
