Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vestibular sense helps us maintain balance and orientation, so damage to this system would result in an inability to balance, as described in choice C. The kinesthetic sense provides feedback about the position and movement of our body parts, so damage to this system would result in difficulty maintaining posture, as described in choice C. Choices A and D are incorrect because hearing, taste, and smell are not related to the vestibular or kinesthetic senses, and the ability to adapt to sensory input or integrate sensory information is not specific enough to describe the symptoms of damage to these senses. Choice B is also incorrect because running is controlled by the motor system, not the vestibular or kinesthetic senses.
