GO Term : GO:0050885 neuromuscular process controlling balance GO

Namespace  biological_process Obsolete  false
Description  Any process that an organism uses to control its balance, the orientation of the organism (or the head of the organism) in relation to the source of gravity. In humans and animals, balance is perceived through visual cues, the labyrinth system of the inner ears and information from skin pressure receptors and muscle and joint receptors.
