文摘

Craniofacial muscles innervated by the facial nerve lack muscle spindles. Proprioceptive acuity in the facial muscles is accurate. Proprioception of facial muscles is provided by the trigeminal nerve. Putative mechanoproteins are present in mammalian muscle spindles. Facial muscles contain putative propioceptors supplied by mechanosensory nerves.
