Best Answer

The vestibular system detects motion, gravity and provides us with our sense of balance.

This is an addition to the above-mentioned answer. Basically, we have three sensory systems that are responsible for the sense of position and movements, and they are:

  • dorsal column-medial lemniscus = detect position and movements of limbs and trunk
  • vestibular system = detect position and movements of your head
  • vision = it helps the other two sensory systems during walking and standing

What is the difference between horizontal mobility and vertical mobility?

A distinction is made between horizontal and vertical social mobility. The former refers to change of occupational position or role of an individual or a group without involving any change in its position in the social hierarchy, the latter refers essentially to changes in the position of an individual or a group along the social hierarchy. When a rural laborer comes to the city and becomes an industrial worker or a manager takes a position in another company there are no significant changes in their position in the hierarchy. Those are the examples of horizontal mobility. Horizontal mobility is a change in position without the change in statue. It indicates a change in position within the range of the same status. It is a movement from one status to its equalivalent.But if an industrial worker becomes a businessman or lawyer he has radically changed his position in the stratification system. This is an example of vertical mobility. Vertical mobility refers to a movement of an individual or people or groups from one status to another. It involves change within the lifetime of an individual to a higher or lower status than the person had to begin with.

What is used to gather data in an active remote-sensing system?

Hi, I'm Josephine, and I'm barely learning this, since I'm in 6 grade. A radar is used to gather data in an active remote sensing system. Funny, I have this question in my study guide. :)
