The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that receptors located in tendons, joints, and skeletal muscles provide information about the position and movement of body parts. It also claims that these receptors are called "Algest receptors." 2. **Identifying the Correct Receptors**: The receptors that provide information about body position and movement are known as proprioceptors, not Algest receptors. Proprioceptors are specialized sensory receptors found in tendons, joints, and skeletal muscles. 3. **Function of Proprioceptors**: Proprioceptors are sensitive to tension and pressure. They detect changes in body position and movement, allowing the central nervous system to process this information and coordinate movement. 4. **Conclusion**: The statement [R] that these receptors are called Algest receptors is false. The correct term for these receptors is proprioceptors. 5. **Final Answer**: The statement [A] is true, while the statement [R] is false. The correct name for the receptors in question is proprioceptors. ---
