Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are the receptors that detect and signal the brain about the presence of painful stimuli. These receptors are present in different tissues throughout the body, including the skin, muscles, organs, and bones, and can respond to various types of stimuli, such as heat, pressure, chemical irritants, and tissue damage. Other receptor types listed (baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and proprioceptors) are responsible for sensing different types of stimuli, such as pressure changes, chemical concentrations, temperature changes, and body position or movements.
