0 a nerve ending in the muscles and joints that is stimulated (= made to operate) when the body moves or changes position --
The primary action has been proposed to be due to a re-setting under conditions of excessive proprioceptor activity of some centrally controlled level of muscle relaxation.
It is provided by proprioceptors in skeletal striated muscles and in joints.
This information originates in proprioceptors (e.g., muscle spindles) in the face.
Only certain types of sensory fibers have cell bodies in the mesencephalic nucleus: proprioceptor fibers from the jaw and mechanoreceptor fibers from the teeth.
Muscle spindles are a type of proprioceptor, and they are found inside the muscle itself.
The human proprioceptor has yet to be discovered.
This study proved that neck proprioceptors and vestibular receptors contribute sensory feedback that alters the gait of the animal.
In order to receive a continuous stream of sensory data, the body has developed special sensory receptors called proprioceptors.
