Proprioceptors are sensors that provide information about joint angle, muscle length, and muscle tension, which is integrated to give information about the position of the limb in space.

They tell the body where it is and how it is positioned.

Equilibrium and the activities of muscles and joints are monitored by proprioceptors. Proprioceptors can be found in joints and skeletal striated muscles.proprioceptorsproprioceptors
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.
These are the senses of movement, body position, torque and acceleration of the body and objects around the body. These senses are provided by proprioceptors in joints and skeletal muscles.
The main job of proprioceptors is to recieve stimulus about body position, posture, and movement. In other words, they are the things that tells the brain where the body is and what it is doing.
