Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs are the primary receptors that detect changes in muscular tension. Muscle spindles respond to changes in muscle length and the rate of that change, while Golgi tendon organs monitor the tension generated by muscle contractions. Both play crucial roles in proprioception, helping the body maintain balance and coordination during movement.

The sense of hearing can be classified as a mechanoreceptor because it detects mechanical stimuli in the form of sound waves. Proprioceptors detect changes in muscle length and tension, while thermoceptors respond to temperature changes, and photoreceptors detect light.
The tension of muscle fibers is called muscle tension. It refers to the force generated by a muscle when it contracts. Muscle tension is necessary for movement, posture, and stabilization of the body.
The pancreas is the organ in the body that detects changes in blood glucose levels. It releases insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels in response to these changes.
Pap smear
Skin can detect temperature changes, allowing us to feel hot or cold sensations. It also detects physical stimuli such as pressure, touch, and pain.
