Answer

Joint angle

Question 3

Which type of sensory receptor detects joint position and movement, contributing to proprioception?

Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptors

Answer

Thermoreceptors

Answer

Nociceptors

Question 4

Autogenic inhibition occurs when:

Accepted Answer

GTO activation causes relaxation of the agonist muscle

Answer

Muscle spindles cause the agonist to contract rapidly

Answer

Antagonist muscles contract simultaneously with the agonist

Answer

The stretch reflex overrides voluntary motor control
