What is the role of proprioceptors in the body?

  1. To pump blood through the muscles

  2. To provide information to the CNS for coordinated movements

  3. To contract and relax muscles

  4. To act as a primary source of muscle nutrients

The correct answer is: To provide information to the CNS for coordinated movements

Proprioceptors are sensory receptors that are responsible for providing information to the central nervous system (CNS) about the body's position, movement, and balance. This allows for coordinated movements and helps to maintain proper posture and balance. None of the other options are correct because A. the circulatory system is responsible for pumping blood, not proprioceptors, C. muscle contraction and relaxation is controlled by motor neurons, and D. muscle nutrients are primarily obtained through the bloodstream and metabolism, not proprioceptors.
