Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are specialized receptors that detect tissue damage and transmit pain signals to the brain. Chemical and mechanical receptors may also be involved in detecting tissue damage, but they do not specifically specialize in this function. Thermoreceptors are involved in detecting changes in temperature, but not necessarily tissue damage.
