Muscle sense, also known as proprioception, allows the brain to know where the body parts are without looking at them. This sense does not depend on motor nerve impulses (which are outgoing signals for muscle contraction) but rather on sensory inputs from proprioceptors in muscles and joints. The cerebellum plays a key role in integrating unconscious muscle sense, which is crucial for coordination and balance, while conscious perception of body position is processed in other parts of the brain, not specifically the temporal lobes. The receptors involved in muscle sense are not called reaction receptors but proprioceptors.
