Accepted Answer

Proprioceptors are sensory receptors located in muscles and tendons that provide information to the brain about the position and movement of body parts. Meissner's corpuscles are located in the skin and are responsible for light touch sensation, lamellar corpuscles are another type of skin receptor that detects deep pressure and vibration, and association neurons are found in the brain and spinal cord and help process and integrate sensory information.
