Sensory receptors found in muscle and tendons that detect their degree of stretch?

the muscle spindle detects it, and causes reflexes that automatically make slight alterations to muscle tentions, so that you stand up right.

How snakes eat?
snakes eat by swallowing their prey whole. they have elastic tendons between their jaw bones to allow their mouth to stretch open to almost a 180 degree angle.
What is the Common function of Arthropod antennae?
Antennae on arthropods perform sensory functions. In insects they detect moisture, temperature, and have olfactory functions; in crustaceans there are chemical receptors which function similar to our taste and smell for molecules drifting in seawater. There are also sensory receptors in many arthropod antennae which detect the amount of force from muscle action and the degree of bending and thus provide the touch sense. Some butterflies have a solar compass in their antennae, used for navigation.

Which fibers in the skeletal muscle are stimulated only by the degree of stretch?
Type 2
How serious is an injury involving the tearing of the anterior talocalcaneal ligament?
Tearing ligaments is always very serious. Ligaments are NOT supposed to stretch. Think of it this way - muscles stretch and contract a lot. Tendons connect these muscles to your body, so they need some degree of elasticity but not a lot. Ligaments connect bone to bone and these have absolutely NO elasticity. If you've torn a ligament in your ankle/foot, you should definitely seek professional medical attention because you will need surgery if you want to walk properly again.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
What term refers to the clustering of sensory structures at the anterior end of an organism?
Cephalization. Shouldn't you be reading your textbook?
Is polyester stretchy material?
Polyester is a material that fabric is fabricated from. Polyester can be knitted into fabrics that will stretch. Polyester also can be woven into fabrics that will not stretch. Polyester can be blended with other materials and fabricated into fabrics that will and will not stretch.
What are synonyms for extend?
Range, scope, region, or degree is the synonym of extent.
Will receptors for equilibrium work in space at zero gravity?
NO. the reason they would NOT work is because the receptors in the ear depend on gravity for them to be stimulated. the 3 semicircular canals are arrange at 90 degree angles to each other. they contain endolymph which move as your body moves stimulating the sensory hairs ( receptors) your brain them interprets the movements and sends signals to your muscles to adjust for the movements. every movement your body makes causes the endolymph to move stimulating the receptors which send impulses to the brain. then the brain interprets the movements and sends messages to the appropriated muscle groups to stabilize you. that's why when your drunk you cant balance as well because the ethane disrupts the normal functioning of the brain. If you are in zero gravity the receptors don't function effectively you lose equilibrium. THE LOSS OF EQUILIBRIUM CAUSES A FALLING SENSATION
Is clozapine in the tricyclic antidepressant class of drugs?
Clozapine is not a tricyclic antidepressant, but rather an atypical antipsychotic medication. Atypical antipsychotics differ from typical antipsychotics by the range of receptors that are modulated or affected. Typical antipsychotics primarily inhibit Dopamine 2 (DA2) receptors. Atypical antipsychotics block a host of receptors, namely serotonin and dopamine, but also including alpha and histamine receptors in varying proportions. The benefit of Clozapine is that there is a lesser degree of dopamine inhibition that is aimed at reducing certain side effects.
