Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A free nerve ending is an unencapsulated dendrite of a sensory neuron; they are the most common nerve endings in skin. Free nerve endings are sensitive to painful stimuli, to hot and cold, and to light touch. They are slow to adjust to a stimulus and so are less sensitive to abrupt changes in stimulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -2) Thermal receptors. These are slowly adapting receptors which can detect changes in skin temperature. These may be cold or warm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Signals from the skin may be conveyed by physical change (mechanoreceptors), temperature (thermoreceptors), or pain (nociceptors). Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin.
