Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sense that allows us to perceive the position and movement of our body parts without relying on visual information is called kinesthetic sense. This sense allows us to touch our toes even when our eyes are closed by providing information to our brain about the location of our limbs in space. The vestibular sense contributes to our sense of balance and spatial orientation, the skin senses allow us to perceive touch, pressure, and temperature, and the nociceptor sense detects pain.
