The myotatic reflex is provoked by activation of What in a stretched muscle?
the Ia fibres of the muscle spindles
What Major function is to contract?
muscle tissue
What is the main function of smooth muscle cells?
involuntary muscle movements
What some examples of proprioceptors?
Proprioceptors are sensory nerve ending in muscles, tendons, and joints which respond to variations in movement, position, and tension. Muscle spindles proprioceptors sense changes in muscle length, Pacinian corpuscles are proprioceptor which detect changes in movement and pressure within the body, and the Golgi tendon organs, proprioceptors in the tendons near the end of muscle fibers, are sensitive to changes in muscle tension.
