proprioceptive sensibility

the sensibility afforded by receptors in muscles, joints and other parts, by which one is made aware of their position and state.

protopathic sensibility

the sensibility to strong stimulations of pain and temperature; it is low in degree and poorly localized, existing in the skin and in the viscera, and acting as a defensive agency against pathological changes in the tissues.
