MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Proprioception refers to the sense of limb position and movement, where the latter is specifically referred to as kinesthesia. Proprioceptive feedback is critical for proper balance and motor control. Innervated by fast-conducting A fibers, muscles have receptors involved in proprioception.
