Rapidly adapting proprioceptors that provide information on the location of a moving hand are known as

B)primary receptors.
C)secondary receptors.
D)tonic receptors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rapidly adapting receptors are known as phasic receptors, and they are responsible for detecting changes in the stimulus, such as the movement of a hand. Primary and secondary receptors are not specific terms related to proprioception. Tonic receptors, on the other hand, are slow-adapting and provide information on the position of a limb over a longer period of time, whereas phasic receptors provide information on changes in limb position.
