Complete the following statements to describe cutaneous and proprioceptors. Not all cholces will be used. Cutaneous receptors are located in the skin and proprioceptors are located in the muscles and joints. Golgi tendon organs These receptors provide sensory input to the primary sensory area of the cerebral cortex where the information is processed. pain cerebral cortex Cutaneous receptors are made up of numerous sensory receptors, including those for temperature, pressure, touch, and pain. muscles and joints Pacinian corpuscle One example is a cutaneous receptor that is onion-shaped and detects pressure, called a equilibrium connective tissue Proprioceptors help the body maintain equilibrium and posture. skin of sensory nerve endings wraps around muscle cells within a(n) sight A(n) sheath. muscle spindle Other sensory receptors, such as Golgi tendon organs, are located in the joints.
