Receptors that respond chiefly to pain and temperature are called nociceptors, which are primarily found in the skin and deeper tissues. The diagram indicates that these receptors are located in the middle portion of the skin layer (dermis) and are labeled as C fibers. A, B, D, and E are all types of sensory receptors, but they do not respond primarily to pain and temperature.
