Document Summary
Give 2 examples of diferent types of tasks that produce diferent results in this measure. Give an example from any sport that illustrates this concept. Proprioception refers to the body"s ability to sense movement within joints and joint position. This ability enables us to know where our limbs are in space without having to look. Semicircle canals each canal is illed with a luid called endolymph" and contains motion sensors within the luids. September 17, 2015 the duct moves but the luid lags behind due to inertia. This delects the hair cells alters an electric signal that is transmitted to the brain. With constant motion, the luid catches up to the movement of the duct and the cupula is no longer afected, stopping the sensation of acceleration. Otolith organs displacements and linear acceleration of the head, such as those induced by tilting or translational movements are detected by the.
