50
Q

what is the role of proprioceptors in a muscle?

A

sensory feedback about joint angles, force of muscle and body movement. Important for the sequence in which muscles contract to prevent wanted or unwanted contraction of muscles.

51
Q

Proprioceptors are involved in a muscle contraction. Name two and where are they located?

A
  1. Muscle spindles
    Located deep in the centre of the muscles
    and
  2. Golgi tendon organs located in the tendon
52
Q

what does feedback from the structures i.e mucle spindles and golgi tendon organs do?

A

allows the body to contract or relax muscles to adjust posture and core stability thus prevent injury
