Type of sensations carried by nociceptors are_________________?

Correct answer: D. Pain

  • A. Touch.
  • B. Temperature.
  • C. Pressure.
  • D. Pain

Explanation

Nociceptors are free nerve endings that respond to potentially damaging mechanical, thermal, or chemical stimuli and produce the sensation of pain. They are responsible for warning the body about tissue injury rather than detecting ordinary touch or pressure. The likely alternative is temperature, because extreme heat or cold can activate nociceptors, but their characteristic sensation is pain.
