Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are specialized sensory receptors found in muscles, tendons, and joints that provide information about body position and movement, allowing for the sense of proprioception. They do not directly respond to pressure, touch, vibration, extreme temperatures, or chemicals in solution, which are functions of other types of sensory receptors.
