Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Exteroceptors are the afferent nerve endings that sense stimuli originating from outside of the body, such as pain, touch, vibration, temperature, and sound. One type of exteroceptors are known as mechanoreceptors, which are receptors that respond to external mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, and vibration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mechanical nociceptors respond to pressure and can detect breaks in the skin’s surface. It is these receptors that are responsible for relaying the pain signal when afflicted by a paper cut.
Detailed explanation-4: -Receptors on the skin Signals from the skin may be conveyed by physical change (mechanoreceptors), temperature (thermoreceptors), or pain (nociceptors).
