• The vestibular apparatus is located in the inner ear and is a complex of labyrinth of tubes with sensitive villi responsible for the balance of the body. The organ that regulates the position of the body in space in a balanced state is finally formed in adolescence
• The organ of vision and the vestibular apparatus are interconnected. This enables a person with great accuracy to feel in space even with eyes closed. The receptors of the vestibular apparatus allow you to perceive the position of the head and the movement of the body in space
• Kinetosis or motion sickness occurs when moving, especially this syndrome is felt on winding and serpentine roads, at a quick speed, mowing at sea. The inconsistency of the visual perception of a person with the work of the vestibular apparatus is transmitted to the brain in the form of an impulse about a stressful situation in the body
