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.
