Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are specialized sensory receptors that respond to different types of pain, including heat, cold, pressure, and chemicals. They send signals to the brain to indicate the presence of tissue damage or injury. Proprioceptors are sensory receptors that respond to changes in body position and movement, and kinesthetic receptors refer to proprioceptors that specifically detect movement and position of muscles, tendons, and joints. Pheromones are chemicals released by animals to communicate with others of the same species, and have no relation to sensory receptors for pain.
