Motor response is sent along a motor neuron back to the periphery where these stimuli will detect a muscle contraction. Proprioception : nervous system"s ability to feel your body"s position in space. Proprioceptors: receptor cells that are sensitive to stimuli pertaining to muscle and joint position.
