You've added much to this post. I wouldn't have a clue about the MO equivalent in spiders. But from my limited biology, spiders don't have a spine, therefore they could not have an MO or MO equivalent, I think...

These allow them to know the extent of flexion or extension that exists at each joint at a given moment. Some extensive neurophysiological studies have been performed on the overseas ctenid species, Cupiennius salei, and we now know that this species has numerous hairs (or sometimes whole hair plates) of different sizes around each of its joints and that the extent of deformation of these as flexion or extension occurs at that joint is used by the spider's nervous system to monitor the posture of that leg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-11884034100087311102014-04-10T01:52:17.710+10:002014-04-10T01:52:17.710+10:00It is common sense.
