    This document lists the different types of receptors in the skin and body, along with the sensations they detect. Cutaneous receptors in the skin detect touch, pressure, cold, warmth and pain. Chemoreceptors detect taste and smell. Telereceptors detect vision through rods and cones and hearing through hair cells. Visceroreceptors detect internal sensations through receptors in various organs. Proprioceptors detect body position and movement through receptors in muscles, tendons, and the inner ear.
