Which statements describe proprioception? Select all that apply. Select one or more: Proprioceptors are slowly adapting receptors. Proprioceptors are embedded in muscles and tendons. Proprioceptive sensations allow us to determine position of body structures relative to each other. Proprioceptive sensations are used to activate the nervous system in response to threatening situations. Proprioceptive sensations allow us to estimate the weight of certain objects. Proprioceptive sensations only allow you to know the positon of body parts when looking at the part.
