Maintaining balance depends on information received by the brain from three peripheral sources: eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (Figure 1). All three of these information sources send signals to the brain in the form of nerve impulses from special nerve endings called sensory receptors. Figure 1. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems. Input from the eyes. Sensory receptors in the retina are called rods and cones.
