Which of the following is NOT a group of proprioception?

• A. Ligament, joint and skin
• B. Neck and inner ear
• C. Muscular proprioceptions
• D. Cardiovascular system

Answer: (D)

Proprioception comes from sensors that detect stretch, tension, and movement in the tissues involved in your body's position sense. The main sources are muscular proprioceptors like muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs, receptors in ligaments, joint capsules, and even some skin receptors that contribute to sense of where a limb is and how it’s moving. The neck region has proprioceptors that help orient the head in relation to the body, and the inner ear’s vestibular system provides information about head movement and balance. The cardiovascular system does not provide this kind of body-position information; it’s monitored by other receptors that track blood pressure and chemical status for autonomic regulation. So, the cardiovascular system is not a proprioceptive source.
