proprioception
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0019230
The series of events by which an organism senses the position, location, orientation, and movement of the body and its parts. Proprioception is mediated by proprioceptors, sensory nerve terminals found in muscles, tendons, and joint capsules, which give information concerning movements and position of the body. The receptors in the labyrinth are sometimes also considered proprioceptors. [ http://openisbn.com/search.php?q=072168677X&isbn=1/ ]
