Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are specialized receptors located in your muscles and joints that sense changes in your body position. Kinesthetic receptors and vestibular sacs are also involved in sensing body position, but they are not specialized receptors like proprioceptors. Semicircular canals are involved in sensing changes in head movement and rotation, but not specifically changes in body position.
