- The Vestibular system provides info about motion and position of body
- Sensory receptor cells of vestibular system are located in otolith organs and semi-circular
canals of inner ear
- Otolith organ à provide info for postural adjustment of somatic musculature when head tilts
- Semi-circular canals à info about rotational accelerations of the head
o Generates reflex movements that adjust the eyes, head, body during motor activities
