These receptors consist of free nerve endings that are stimulated by tissue damage. Pain/nociceptors
These receptors do not adapt and may continue to send signals after the stimulus is removed. Pain/nociceptors
These receptors are widely distributed throughout the skin and other internal tissues. Pain/nociceptors
When pain feels as if it is coming from an area other than the site where it originates, it is called WHAT? Referred pain.
