The proprioceptive nerve ending (proprioceptor nerve ending) is the ending of sensory nerve fibers that are part of the musculoskeletal system. They transmit information to the central nervous system about muscle movement, position and tension, which is important for maintaining balance and coordination.
A nerve terminal is a branch of a neuron that can form a synaptic connection with other nerve cells or glial cells. Their localization can be central or peripheral. Nerve endings are located inside the brain, in the spinal cord, or on the periphery of the body, near joints, ligaments, or bones.
Common nerve endings of a priori property are the following:
1. Myoneuronate endings - endings located in the deep layers of skin around the muscle. They perceive external stimuli (temperature, pain, tactile) and transmit information about them to the brain. 2. Bathianesthetic endings - formations in the skin on the surface of the skin and in the surrounding soft tissues. They respond to movement in muscles and ligaments, and also respond to external stimuli. They also transmit information about changes in muscle strength to the brain. Thus, these endings provide a range of sensations that alert the brain to a change in body position or disturbance.
