- Definition of Proprioception. The term proprioception is used to describe the sensory information that contributes to the sense of position of self and movement.Sir Charles Bell named the sixth sense as the sense of the positions and actions of the limbs (McCloskey 1978).oday, it is believed that proprioception refers to 2 kinds of sensations: that of static limb position and of kinesthesia. Static position reflects the conscious recognition of the orientation of the different body parts, while kinesthesia is the conscious recognition of rates of movement.

The Somatosensory System Our somatosensory system is distributed throughout all major parts of our body. It is responsible for sensing touch, temperature, posture, limb position, and more. It includes both sensory receptor neurons in the periphery-skin, muscle and organs, for example-and deeper neurons within the central nervous system.

Anatomical terms of motion Anatomical terms of motion. Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the joints. Anatomists use a unified set of terms to describe most of the movements, although other, more specialized terms are necessary for describing the uniqueness of the movements such as those of the hands, feet, and eye

Proprioception Summary and Conclusions. Proprioception is the sense which allows perception of the location, movement, and action of parts of the body relative to each other. Proprioceptive sensations are derived from combined sensory input from muscle, joint, and skin receptors, plus central signals related to motor output.roprioception and motor control are so entwined that it is often impossible to separate where the sensory signals subserve a direct motor function and where the same signals evoke proprioceptive sensations which might then be used in control of movement.

Sense The senses are frequently divided into exteroceptive and interoceptive 1  : Exteroceptive senses are senses that perceive the body's own position, motion, and state, known as proprioceptive senses. 2  Interoceptive senses are senses that perceive sensations in internal organs.

Clinical Anatomy Terms to Describe the Eight Body Regions In clinical anatomy the body is divided into eight regions. To understand how those anatomical regions relate to one another requires you to learn the terminology. Imagine the body standing in the following anatomical position: The following terms refer to general positions of the body: Supine means a person is lying on her back.

The Language of Anatomy: anatomical position and directional terms In order to describe body parts and positions correctly, the medical community has developed a set of anatomical positions and directional terms widely used in the healthcare industry. The anatomical reference point is a standard body position called the anatomical position. In the anatomical position, the body is erect, the palms of the hand face forward, the thumbs point away from the body, and the feet are slightly apart. It’s important to understand the anatomical position because most directional terms are based off it. 1  Superior (cranial)– toward the head or upper part of the body; above.  Inferior (caudal)– away from the head or toward the lower part of the body; below.

- Proprioception: The ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion, and equilibrium. Even if a person is blindfolded, he or she knows through proprioception if an arm is above the head or hanging by the side of the body.roprioception: The ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion, and equilibrium.

Anatomical terms of location Many anatomical terms can be combined, either to indicate a position in two axes simultaneously or to indicate the direction of a movement relative to the body. For example, anterolateral indicates a position that is both anterior and lateral to the body axis (such as the bulk of the pectoralis major muscle).

Sensation and Perception Kinesthesis is the sense of the position and movement of body parts. Through kinesthesis, people know where all the parts of their bodies are and how they are moving. Receptors for kinesthesis are located in the muscles, joints, and tendons.
