Sensory, Attentional And Perceptual Processes

Question

Describe briefly the system whose receptors are found primarily in joints, ligaments, and muscles.

Answer

The Kinesthetic system: Its receptors are found primarily in joints, ligaments, and muscles. This system gives us information about the location of our body parts in relation to each other, and allows us to perform simple (e.g., touching one’s nose) and complex movements (e.g., dancing). Our visual system provides a great deal of help in this respect.
