is derived from the proprioceptors in the skin, muscles, and joints.
, Q&A
balance - Answers The receptor for the sense of balance resides in
the vestibular system in the ear (for the three-dimensional orientation of the
head, and by inference, the rest of the body).
proprioception - Answers estimates the location of objects which are
sensed by the visual system (which provides confirmation of the place of
those objects relative to the body), as input to the mechanical reflexes of
the body.
fine touch - Answers a sensory modality that allows a subject to
sense and localize touch.
crude touch - Answers a sensory modality that allows the subject to
sense that something has touched them, without being able to localize
where they were touched (contrasting "fine touch").
social touch - Answers The somatosensory cortex encodes
incoming sensory information from receptors all over the body.
affective touch - Answers a type of sensory information that elicits
an emotional reaction and is usually social in nature, such as a physical
human touch.
This type of information actually coded differently than other sensory
information.

the feeling of pleasantness associated with affective touch activates the
____________________ more than the primary somatosensory cortex.
cutaneous and muscle spindles - Answers sensory receptors are
classified by location
cutaneous receptors - Answers sensory receptors found in the
dermis or epidermis.
muscle spindles - Answers mechanoreceptors that detect stretch in
muscles.
effleurage - Answers a light, gliding motion over the skin that always
maintains contact and directs the stroke towards the heart.
This stroke is frequently used at the beginning and end of a massage
treatment to invoke soothing and relaxing.
frictions - Answers These strokes are used to help break down
connective tissue or adhesions, found within muscles, tendons and
ligaments due to a direct injury accompanied by inflammation, like
tendonitis.
Frictions are performed when tissue is in a relaxed neutral position and the
thumb or fingers are used to compress the tissue over the lesion site. The
pressure is increased and small back and forth movements are applied
perpendicularly in the direction of the tissue fiber. No oil or lotion is used.
