Wikipedia

  1. kinesthesis

    Proprioception ( PROH-pree-o-SEP-shən), also referred to as kinaesthesia (or kinesthesia), is the sense of self-movement, force, and body position. It is sometimes described as the "sixth sense".Proprioception is mediated by proprioceptors, mechanosensory neurons located within muscles, tendons, and joints. Most animals possess multiple subtypes of proprioceptors, which detect distinct kinematic parameters, such as joint position, movement, and load. Although all mobile animals possess proprioceptors, the structure of the sensory organs can vary across species. Proprioceptive signals are transmitted to the central nervous system, where they are integrated with information from other sensory systems, such as the visual system and the vestibular system, to create an overall representation of body position, movement, and acceleration. In many animals, sensory feedback from proprioceptors is essential for stabilizing body posture and coordinating body movement.

    Kinesthesis, also known as kinesthesia, is the perception of body movements. It involves being able to detect changes in body position and movements without relying on information from the five traditional senses. It's a sense that allows us to perceive self-motion and control our movements. This can include knowing the positions of various body parts, sensing movement, direction, and velocity of those parts, and perceiving tension and force.
