Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vestibular apparatus is located in the inner ear and is responsible for detecting changes in head position and movement, as well as maintaining balance and posture. Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles are receptors found in muscles and tendons, respectively, that detect changes in muscle length and tension. Joint kinesthetic receptors are found in the joints and respond to changes in joint position and movement. None of these are responsible for detecting changes in posture and balance like the vestibular apparatus.
