Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Proprioceptor

👉 A proprioceptor is a cell in the body that senses changes in its surrounding environment. These changes can be from small stimuli such as temperature, pressure, or chemical signals to large-scale changes like electrical currents. The sensory cells in the brain and other tissues send information about these changes out to the rest of the body through specialized receptors called nociceptors. These receptors are activated when a stimulus is applied to the body, which can lead to pain or discomfort.
