Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vestibular system provides sensory information about the position of the head and body with respect to inertial forces, which is critical for maintaining balance control. It does not provide information about muscle tension and length or joint movement and position. While it does play a role in determining the position of the head relative to the environment, this is not its primary function in balance control.
