Proprioceptors are sensors that provide information about joint angle, muscle length, and muscle tension, which is integrated to give information about the position of the limb in space.
Proprioceptors are classified by their location within the body and their function in providing feedback about body position, movement, and balance. They can be further categorized as muscle spindles, golgi tendon organs, and joint receptors.
They tell the body where it is and how it is positioned.
Proprioceptors do not belong in the grouping, as they are sensory receptors responsible for detecting body position and movement, while rods, cones, and photoreceptors are sensory receptors responsible for detecting light and color in the eyes.
The main job of proprioceptors is to recieve stimulus about body position, posture, and movement. In other words, they are the things that tells the brain where the body is and what it is doing.

Proprioceptors are sensory nerve ending in muscles, tendons, and joints which respond to variations in movement, position, and tension. Muscle spindles proprioceptors sense changes in muscle length, Pacinian corpuscles are proprioceptor which detect changes in movement and pressure within the body, and the Golgi tendon organs, proprioceptors in the tendons near the end of muscle fibers, are sensitive to changes in muscle tension.
The proprioceptors are the sensory receptors and the end of the sensory nerves.
