Systems

• Information comes from:

  • Somatosensory system
  • Visual system
  • Vestibular system
• Information from Somatosensory system can come from:

  • Proprioception
  • Muscle spindle
  • Golgi tendon organ
  • Joint receptors
  • Cutaneous receptors
  • Mechanoreceptors
  • Thermoreceptors
  • Nociceptors
• Visual system:

  • rods & cones in the retina
  • provides info to perceptual system
• Vestibular system:

  • Semi-circular canals provide information on rotational movements
  • Utricle & Saccule provide information on gravity, vertical and linear orientation
