We received the men and their wives, the men and their mothers, the men and their grandmothers--but, in place of their unmarried daughters, elaborate excuses, offered with a shameless politeness wonderful to see.
Sensory neurons that monitor position and movement of body parts. Respond to degree of stretch of the organs they occupy. Monitor how much organs containing these receptors are stretched. Include muscles, tendons, and joint capsules. They can determine how much force is being applied to your limbs allowing you to pick something up without crushing it or dropping it.
Stimuli can be divided into a range of different types or MODALITIES. Receptors normally respond to only one type of stimuli (or sensory modality), and that type of sensory modality is called the adequate stimulus for a particular type of stimulus.For example, the adequate stimulus for the eyes photoreceptors (rods and cones) is light and not touch (mechanical stimuli).) different sensory receptors adapt at different rates: touch and pressure receptors vs. pain receptors and certain proprioceptors. 3) different adaptation rates of receptors determines the nature of the information provided to the CNS. The receptors important for movement are mostly somatosensory receptors.
