Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are sensory receptors that respond to harmful or potentially harmful stimuli, such as tissue damage, and initiate neural impulses leading to the sensation of pain. Bipolar cells are found in sensory systems, but they are not specifically involved in the sensation of pain. Feature detectors are specialized neurons in the visual system, and ganglion fibers are a type of nerve cell found in the retina of the eye.
