Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) Muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and joint receptors are the three types of proprioceptors involved in sensing body position and movement, which are stimulated during activities like riding a bicycle. Muscle spindles detect changes in muscle length, Golgi tendon organs monitor tension in tendons, and joint receptors sense the position and movement of joints.
