Question

Which receptors are involved with the proprioception sense?

Answer 1

Answer:

A: stretch receptors in the muscles, tendons and ligaments

Explanation:

Proprioception (or kinesthesia) is defined as any postural, positional information transmitted to the central nervous system by stretch receptors in the muscles, tendons and ligaments, joints or skin. In other words, it is the awareness of the movements produced by our members.

These receptors are found within the somatic nervous system, responsible for the different sensory experiences received and interpreted by our body. The most basic function of receptors is to provide the central nervous system (CNS) with information about the internal conditions of organic structures and the external environment.
