0 a nerve ending in the muscles and joints that is stimulated (= made to operate) when the body moves or changes position
The mechanical proprioceptors are also correct because they detect that the body is stationary, and they are not concerned with motion of the room at all.
Earlier forming cells from this region can become non-pain sensing receptors; either proprioceptors or low-threshold mechanoreceptors.
Signals generated by exteroceptors and proprioceptors are carried by sensory neurons or nerves and are called electrochemical signals.
However, this should not rule out the role of all proprioceptors in maintaining postural stability in humans.
It is initiated either by stimulation of stretch receptors or stimulation of proprioceptors activated by lung deflation.
The body also contains proprioceptors, which respond to the amount of stretch within the organ, usually muscle, that they occupy.
An example of a popular proprioceptor often mentioned by aircraft pilots, is the seat of the pants.
In order to receive a continuous stream of sensory data, the body has developed special sensory receptors called proprioceptors.
