| proprioception |
is the kinesthetic sense; sensory receptors receive information about position, rate of movement, contraction, tension, and stretch of tissues through the distortion and pressure on the sensory receptor; after proprioceptive sensory information is processed in the central nervous system, motor impulses carry the response back to muscles; muscles then contract or relax to restore or change posture, movement, or position |
