Kinesthesis refers to the sense of movement and position of the parts of the body. This information is gathered from receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints, and allows individuals to have a sense of their own body movements and position in space. Somesthesis refers to the collective term for all sensory information about the body, including touch and temperature sensation. The vestibular sense refers to the sense of balance and spatial orientation, and the gravitational sense does not exist as a recognized sensory system.
