The Sensory receptors serving the stretch reflex are classified as___________?
Correct answer: C. Proprioceptors
- A. Exteroceptors
- B. Nociceptors
- C. Proprioceptors
- D. Chemo receptors
Explanation
Muscle spindles, which initiate the stretch reflex, detect muscle length and its rate of change, so they are proprioceptors. Nociceptors detect pain, exteroceptors detect external stimuli, and chemoreceptors detect chemical changes.
