Question

Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs are two types of sensory receptors that provide information to the central nervous system (CNS). This information is relayed to the thalamus and sensory cortex and is experienced as______________.

Answer 1

Answer: Proprioception

Step-by-step explanation:

Specialized sensory nerve terminals in the skeletal muscles and tendons relay information about muscle stretch and joint tension to the CNC.

Answer 2

Sensation

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle spindles are sensory receptors in the muscles that provide nervous system with information about changes in muscle length.

Golgi tendon organs are located at the junction of the muscles and tendons that signal information about force in the muscles.

The thalamus relays sensory impulses from receptors in various parts of the body to the cerebral cortex.

The sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation.
