Interrelation of nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems to create movement - Kinetic chain brain and spinal cord, coordinates activity of body parts - Central nervous system all nerves branching off spinal cord, extending out to the body - Peripheral nervous system sense distortion in body tissues - mechanoreceptors mechanoreceptor that senses changes in tension - Golgi tendon organs mechanoreceptor that senses changes in length - muscle spindles cumulative sensory input to th...

__________ are receptors that receive sensory input from the body's musculoskeletal system - Answer proprioceptors Proprioceptors provide the body with information regarding: (3) - Answer 1. presence 2. position 3. movement 5 examples of proprioceptors and their functions: - Answer 1. Muscle spindles: stretch 2. Golgi tendon organs: tension 3. Pacinian corpuscles: pressure 4. Periodontal mechanoreceptors 5. Free nerve endings: pain

Proprioception - correct answer The body's ability to to sense the relative position of adjacent parts of the body Ex: when walking our feet give us proprioception about the type of surface we are on. Mechanoreceptors - correct answer specialized structures that recognize pressure in tissue and transmit signals to sensory nerves. Muscle Spindles - correct answer sensory receptors in the muscles that are parallel to the muscle fibers and are sensitive to change in muscle length. Spindle...
