This question asks the ability to sense stimuli against one's own skin is known as which are the following.
00:06
Somatosensation, kinesthetic sense, vestibular sense, or chemoreception.
00:13
So this question targets our knowledge of these various terms that refer to different kinds of reception of signals or stimuli.
00:25
So looking at choice b, the kinesthetic sense, this will actually refer to.
00:31
The ability to tell where the person's body is going to be located in space.
00:38
So basically, the kinesthetic sense tells us where we are.
00:47
And not just in terms of location, but where is my arm right now? is it elevated? is it raised? is it going to be near my hip? this is going to be the job of the kinesthetic sense.
00:59
The vestibular sense is going to refer to the...
01:08
Basically the way that we can detect linear and rotational acceleration, right? because we have the vestibules in the middle ear whose job it is basically to identify, are we speeding up, are we slowing down, are we rotating? and that is why, if you are to spin around in a circle continuously for a number of times, that is why when you stop and you look around, well, it looks like everything is spinning around you.
01:37
Why? because you have messed up the orientation and calibration, one could say, of the vestibular apparatus in the middle ear.
01:50
So your vestibular sense is going to be partially incapacitated or giving you a wrong signal for a little period of time until all of that fluid in your ear is going to come to rest...
