Question
Chapter 40, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The types of stimuli that activate pain receptors.
Introduction:
A stimulus is a change which is detectable in the inner and outer environment. Pain is a sensory feeling that can obtain a large response. Pain receptors are “free nerve endings” that are of three types: mechanical, chemical and thermal.
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The properties of stimuli that activate pain receptors have in common.
Introduction:
A stimulus is a type of action, feeling, pain received or sensed by the body through the various receptors present.
