To define: Pain.
Introduction: The sensory receptors are the nerves which are stimulated by a physical stimulus and create nerve impulse to send information to the brain. The tactile receptors are the most numerous types of sensory receptors. These receptors are present in the skin and mucous membranes. The dendritic nerve endings of tactile receptors are either unencapsulated or encapsulated.
