Proprioception
Proprioception is the sense of oneself, or more precisely, the position of one's own limbs and the location of the body in space. It is made possible by certain receptors in muscles, joints, and tendons that constantly send information to the brain. Visual signals and those from the vestibular system are also processed. This enables coordination, balance, and targeted movements without constant visual control.
