Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are sensory receptors located in muscles, tendons, and joints that provide information about body position and movement. They allow us to know where our limbs are even when we cannot see them. The otolith organs, horizontal canals, and semicircular canals are all part of the vestibular system in the inner ear, which helps us maintain balance and spatial orientation. However, they do not provide information specific to the position of our hand.
