Effects of disease-afflicted and aging neurons on the musculoskeletal system
2019, BoneCitation Excerpt :The nerve endings of Ia/II proprioceptive sensory neurons, on the other hand, terminate throughout the equatorial region of intrafusal muscle fibers and function to relay information to the CNS, and directly to α-motor neurons, about the tone and contraction rate of skeletal muscles. A third proprioceptive sensory neuron subtype, type Ib, innervates Golgi tendon organs and also relays information regarding the contractile status of skeletal muscles to various components of the CNS, including α-motor neurons [11]. Through these actions, either by directly or indirectly connecting with α-motor neurons in the spinal cord, these neurons influence the function and health of skeletal muscles.
Impact of proprioception and tactile sensations in the mouth on the perceived thickness of semi-solid foods
2011, Food Quality and PreferenceCitation Excerpt :In addition to superficial receptors, deeper located systems of receptors and the so-called proprioception also contribute, according to the literature, to the human perception of sensory properties. The physiological basis for this are impulses generated by mechanoreceptors located in muscles, tendons and joints such as the Golgi tendon organ (Guinard & Mazzucchelli, 1996; Proske, 1979; Roberts, 1971; Schmidt, 1998). The question to be answered within this work was whether one of the two systems (superficial mechanoreceptors or proprioception) predominantly determines the oral perception of the thickness of a semi-solid food.
