We can touch our finger to our nose while our eyes are closed in part because we can sense the position and movement of our joints as well as the length of stretch in our muscles.These sensations create awareness of our body's positioning.The following receptors are most likely responsible for this ability.
A) nociceptors
B) proprioceptors
C) exteroceptors
D) interoceptors

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are sensory receptors that detect changes in body position and muscle stretch. They include muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs, which provide information about joint angle and muscle tension, respectively. This information is used to sense the position and movement of our limbs and body, allowing for tasks such as touching our nose with our eyes closed. Nociceptors detect pain, exteroceptors detect external stimuli such as temperature and pressure, and interoceptors monitor internal organ function.
