Question

multiple choice question
what is the name of the receptors that are stimulated by tissue damage?

o chemoreceptors
o thermoreceptors
o mechanoreceptors
o pain receptors

Explanation:

Pain receptors, also known as nociceptors, are specialized sensory neurons that detect tissue - damage or potential tissue - damage. They send signals to the central nervous system which are then interpreted as pain. Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli, thermoreceptors detect temperature changes, and mechanoreceptors detect mechanical stimuli like pressure and vibration.

Answer:

Pain receptors
