Question

Nociceptors

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are specialized sensory receptors that detect noxious stimuli or potentially harmful stimuli, including thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimuli. They are primarily found in the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. When they are stimulated by chemicals released from damaged tissues, they send signals to the spinal cord and brain, which can result in the sensation of pain. Therefore, option D, "All apply," is the best answer.
