Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory receptors for the kinesthetic sense are located in muscle fibers and joints. These receptors are called proprioceptors and provide information about the position and movement of the body. The spinal cord and thalamus are involved in processing this sensory information, but the receptors themselves are located in the muscles and joints. Small bones in the inner ear are involved in the sense of balance, not kinesthetic sense.
