Imagine you're standing on one foot like a flamingo. Your body uses something called the vestibular system to keep you from falling over. This is like having tiny sensors inside your head that tell your brain if you’re moving or not, kind of like a built-in motion detector! If these sensors get confused, you might feel dizzy or even fall over.
Examples
- Standing on one foot like a flamingo
- Swinging on a swing and feeling dizzy
- Walking on a wobbly boat without falling over
