The sense of the relative position, movement, and force of one's own body parts, mediated by receptors in muscles, tendons, and joints.
From Latin 'proprius' (one's own) + 'receptio' (a receiving). Your sense of your own body. Coined by Charles Sherrington.
Proprioception is your body's hidden sense — it's how you can touch your nose with your eyes closed. You always know where your body parts are!
