Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioception is the perception of the body's position and movement in space, and it is primarily mediated by mechanoreceptors located in muscles, tendons, and joints. These receptors detect stretch, tension, pressure, and movement, and send signals to the brain to allow for coordinated movement and balance. Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli, photoreceptors detect light, nociceptors detect pain, and thermoreceptors detect temperature.
