A)fast-acting pain receptor
B)slow-acting pain receptor
C)gate-controlled receptors
D)kinesthetic receptors

Question

Fast-acting pain receptors, also known as nociceptors, are specialized haptic receptors that respond to potentially damaging stimuli like heat, pressure, and chemicals. Hydrogen peroxide can cause tissue damage and inflammation, so it is likely that this organism has evolved fast-acting pain receptors to quickly alert it to the presence of hydrogen peroxide and avoid further exposure.
