Kinesthetic sense

Kinesthetic sense, also known as proprioception, is the body's ability to sense its position, movement, and spatial orientation. It is mediated by specialized receptors in muscles, joints, and tendons that send information to the brain about limb position and muscle tension. This sense allows us to coordinate movements, maintain balance, and perform tasks without needing to look at our limbs. For example, it enables you to touch your nose with your eyes closed or walk without constantly watching your feet. Essentially, kinesthetic sense provides awareness of your body's position and movement in space, facilitating smooth and coordinated physical activity.
