A nice description of sensory receptors is given in this General Sensory Physiology course page on the Sensory Cell. You may want to read the rest of this page and then go check out that link.

Sensory receptors are dendrites of sensory neurons specialized for receiving specific kinds of stimuli. Sensory receptors are classified by three methods: ... Sense organs (such as the eyes and ears) consist of sensory neurons with receptors for the special senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste, and equilibrium) together...

VPRs can specifically be visualized by protein gene product 9.5 immunostaining, and were shown to express vesicular glutamate transporters, calbindin D28K, Na+/K+-ATPase, and P2X3 ATP-receptors. The sensory nerve fibers giving rise to VPRs appeared to be myelinated and to have a spinal origin.

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the sensitivities of muscle thin-fiber sensory receptors to mechanical, chemical, and thermal stimuli were altered after repetitive ECC in a rat model of DOMS.

Sensory receptors may be arranged into sensory organs. Sensory organs are better able to detect stimuli. For example, photoreceptors on the surface of an animal can detect the presence of light but the photoreceptors in the eye (an organ) can be used to form an image.

Somatic sensory receptors are those which are located within the body wall, such as the sense of touch with receptors located on the skin. Visceral senses and somatic sense can be used in some cases interchangeably.

Sensory neurons typically have a long dendrite and short axon, and carry messages from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Motor neurons have a long axon and short dendrites and transmit messages from the central nervous system to the muscles (or to glands).
