Which receptor is responsible for providing continuous information on midrange position sense?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accurate interpretation of movement starts with receptors such as the muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and several of the tactile mechanoreceptors.By far, the most used receptor for position sense, especially in midranges of the joint, is the muscle spindle.As a muscle contracts, one needs continuous information on the length, tension, and speed of the contraction.Every striated muscle contains numerous of these spindle-shaped receptors that lie parallel with the main contractile element of a muscle, the extrafusal muscle fibers.Muscle spindles have tendons that merge with the tendons or fascia of the muscle that surround the spindles.
