Question

Which of the following receptors respond to stimuli occurring in skeletal muscles and joints?

  1. Mechanoreceptors
  2. Proprioceptors
  3. Nociceptors
  4. Chemoreceptors

hintHint:

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.
