Sensory neurons that monitor position and movement of body parts. Respond to degree of stretch of the organs they occupy. Monitor how much organs containing these receptors are stretched. Include muscles, tendons, and joint capsules. They can determine how much force is being applied to your limbs allowing you to pick something up without crushing it or dropping it.
Some sensory receptors can be classified by the physical location of the receptor. Differentiate among sensory receptors by location. 1  Sensory receptors that share a common location often share a related function.  Sensory receptors code four aspects of of a stimulus: modality (or type), intensity, location, and duration. Receptors are sensitive to discrete stimuli and are often classified by both the systemic function and the location of the receptor. Sensory receptors are found throughout our bodies, and sensory receptors that share a common location often share a common function.
