Video Transcript

everybody, says Ricky. And today I'm walking through problems 16 from chapter their dates and say We'll be talking about appropriate sectors. These are a special class of Nakano receptors, and they give us information on Where are you? Limbs are in space, so this has to do with tone and posture of muscular trip. All right, so, um, looking at our answer choices, we can see that the answer is Hales. See McKenna receptors involved in maintaining muscle tone and body posture called C pro receptors city was helpful on seeing the next one.
