Lesson 6 The Vestibular System

The vestibular system is best described as

• a system of labyrinths in our head

• a system that allows us to learn to read

• a sensory system that is responsible for providing our brain with information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation

• a sensory system that allows us to hear clearly

All of the following are one of the three major systems involved in controlling balance except:

• Somatosensory System

• Auditory System

• Vestibular System

• Visual System

This system controls the balance of the body.  

• Vestibular System
• Kinesthetic System
• Vision system
• Internal system

The vestibular system is located

• In the computer hard drive

• In the parietal lobe of the brain

• In the inner ear

• In the occipital lobe of the brain

The highest level of balance is

• Riding a bike

• Standing or sitting still

• Standing on one leg and hopping

• Lying down

These movements could help get your vestibular system going so you can focus

• Rocking

• Spinning

• Jumping

• All of the above

A poorly functioning vestibular system can negatively affect

• Our ability to focus

• Our behaviour

• The way we learn

• All of the above
