Question
Which of the following receptors respond to stimuli occurring in skeletal muscles and joints?
- Mechanoreceptors
- Proprioceptors
- Nociceptors
- Chemoreceptors
Hint:
Proprioceptors monitor the position and movement of skeletal muscles and joints
The correct answer is: Proprioceptors
- Interoceptors (visceroceptors) respond to stimuli occurring in the body from visceral organs and blood vessels.
- These receptors are the sensory neurons associated with the autonomic nervous system. Proprioceptors respond to stimuli occurring in skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
