parts of the body
Ex: when walking our feet give us proprioception about the type of surface we are on.
Mechanoreceptors - Answer specialized structures that recognize pressure in tissue
and transmit signals to sensory nerves.

muscle fibers and are sensitive to change in muscle length. Spindles stretch with
muscle and sends information to CNS.
helps to prevent muscles from stretching too far or too fast

the skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendon. Sensitive to change in tension at the
rate of change
causes the muscle to relax

whole muscle
Perimysium - Answer connective tissue acts as an outer layer of fascicles
Endomysium - Answer between the individual muscle fibers
Type 1 Muscle Fiber - Answer "slow-twitch", smaller in size, lessforce produced, long-
term contractions (stabilization)
Type 2 Muscle Fiber - Answer fast twitch, larger, quick to fatigue, force and power
exercises
