Which Proprioceptors are Found in the Articular Capsules of Synovial

Question

Which proprioceptors are found in the articular capsules of synovial joints?
A)Tendon organs
B)Gamma motor neurons
C)Muscle spindles
D)Kinesthetic receptors
E)Tactile receptors

Accepted Answer

Kinesthetic receptors are found in the articular capsules of synovial joints. These receptors provide feedback on the position and movement of the joint, which is important for maintaining balance and coordination. Tendon organs are located in tendons, muscle spindles are located in muscle fibers, and tactile receptors are located in the skin. Gamma motor neurons are not proprioceptors, but rather are involved in controlling the sensitivity of muscle spindles.
