| Modality | The specific identity of the stimulus (sight, hearing, taste, pain, etc.) |
| Somatic Sensations | Pain, touch, heat, pressure, cold, vibration, and proprioception. |
| Somatic Senses | Receptors for these senses are fairly simple in structure and are distirbuted more-or-less throughout the body. |
| Special Senses | Receptors for these senses are complex and are restricted to special regions/organs of the body. |
| Special Sensations | Sight, smell, taste, hearing, and equilibrium. |
| Exteroceptors | Located near the exterior, receive external stimuli. |
| Visceroreceptors | Located in viscera and blood vessels, receive internal stimuli |
