They are specialized cells that respond to stimuli AND energize nerve cells that send data to your brain.
As to what kinds there are: they include heat and cold (that's two seperate types)
touch and pressure, piloreceptors (motion of the hairs on your skin).
Eyes: The sensory receptor in the eyes is the photoreceptor cell, specifically the rods and cones, which detect light and color. Nose: The sensory receptor in the nose is the olfactory receptor, located in the olfactory epithelium, which detects odor molecules. Tongue: The sensory receptors in the tongue are taste buds, which contain taste receptor cells that detect different tastes like sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. Skin: The sensory receptors in the skin include mechanoreceptors (detect touch and pressure), thermoreceptors (detect temperature), nociceptors (detect pain), and proprioceptors (detect body position and movement).
The skin is the largest sensory organ in the body, containing millions of sensory receptors for touch, pressure, pain, and temperature. The fingertips, lips, and face have some of the highest concentrations of touch receptors. The eyes and ears are also important sensory organs with specialized receptors for vision and hearing.
Heat receptors are located in the skin, while cold receptors are also located in the skin but in different sensory nerve fibers. Heat receptors respond to higher temperatures, while cold receptors respond to lower temperatures, helping our body detect and regulate temperature changes.
Sound waves from the air do not penetrate the skin significantly as they are primarily absorbed or reflected by the skin's surface. However, they can cause vibrations that are perceived by the body's sensory receptors.
The sensory receptors in the skin can detect a wide variety of stimuli, including touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and vibration. These receptors are classified based on the type of stimuli they respond to, with different receptors specializing in different sensations. The skin is capable of receiving and processing complex signals from the environment to provide information about our surroundings and help us interact with the world.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The dermis layer of the skin is composed of thousands of sensory receptors, including touch receptors, temperature receptors, and pain receptors. These receptors help you to feel sensations and respond to your environment.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Cutaneous sensory receptors in the skin are part of the somatosensory portion of the nervous system.
The skin takes in information through the sensory receptors. Sensory receptors that are located within the skin are known as nerve endings. Nerve endings take in sensory information related to touch.

The proprioceptors are the sensory receptors and the end of the sensory nerves.
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Pacinian corpuscles are the sensory receptors found in the greatest number in the skin. They are responsible for detecting pressure and vibration stimuli.
they are located just below the skin at two depths
