Proprioceptors in joints, tendons, etc. send signals to the cerebellum where the information is processed at a subconscious level. Signals also go to the cerebral cortex for processing at a conscious level
The body position sense, proprioception, sometimes called the kinesthetic sense, is provided by specialized receptors in muscles, tendons and joints called proprioceptors.
Body position is sensed by receptors called proprioceptors.
semicircular canals
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
thermoreceptors
osmoreceptors
The name of the type of receptor that responds to changes in the concentration of chemicals is a chemoreceptor. These receptors are found in various parts of the body, such as the nose and taste buds, and they help detect and transmit signals related to smell and taste.
Changes or events occurring outside the body are 'stimuli'; the cells that monitor them are known as 'receptors'.

Receptors.
receptors
Sensory receptors gives the sensation of hot or cold to a body. For example, heat receptors detect warmth while cold receptors detect the cold.
thermoreceptors
The receptors in the body that detect pressure are known as baroreceptors.
osmoreceptors
osmoreceptors
Insects like grasshoppers have heat receptors in their body to detect heat. They also have antennas which help them detect movement and vibrations.
detect body part position
The skin includes sensory receptors, protects other tissues, and insulates the body against temperature changes.
