I have decided to focus on the vestibular system. The vestibular system can be defined as the sensory system that provides the input for the sense of balance and three-dimensional orientation for coordinating movement with balance. Because movements consist of rotations and transformations, the vestibular system is made up of two key components: the semicircular canal system. The vestibular system mostly sends signals to the neural structures that control eye movements, and to the muscles that keep us standing upright. These projections give us the basis of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, which is need to have normal clear vision; and the projections to the muscles that control posture are necessary to keep us standing upright.

The system is enclosed and protected by the bones of the skull. The system consists of three half-circular canals that simulate three different axes points in tracking of our heads movement in a three-dimensional space. Each channel is responsible for a different plane in the width, height, and length who give it feedback on our body's position. The vestibular system has two main functions: First it provides information to the brain about the direction of gravity in order to facilitate the organization of equilibrium and orientation. Secondly it provides the brain with knowledge of our motion changes in space. The vestibular system connects different sensory systems and does not work independently; there is always some sort of connection to one of the additional sensory systems. The links with various systems: The general arousal contacts cortex. The relationship regulating muscle tone and muscle tension which include posture and coordination. The link that can be found between the autonomic nervous system, to its responses. The connection between the visual system and our eye movements. The connection to hearing and to …show more content…
I paid attention to the tiniest details of my classroom setup and my daily routine with the children to see if I could slightly change my approach to have a better effect on the children. In this observation I started gathering more information I knew what to do with. I slowly started to see and understand the impact the sensory differences had on the children's functioning ability throughout the day. As I observed and gathered the data I needed to make a change I realized that I had become much more aware of my own needs in the classroom and the impact I had to help my classroom advance without them noticing a drastic
