The correct answer is muscle spindles. Muscle spindles are specialized sensory receptors located within muscle fibers that detect changes in muscle length and contribute to proprioception. These receptors provide feedback to the nervous system about the muscle's position and movement, allowing for coordinated muscle contraction and control.
