Answer to Question 1

Answer: Nociceptors are pain receptors. Three nociceptors types include: free nerve endings that respond to intense pressure; free nerve endings that respond to intense heat, to acids, and to the chemical capsaicin (TRPV1 receptor); TRPA1 receptors that respond to pungent irritants.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The receptors respond to physical stimuli that include pressure, vibration, cooling, and heating, and that are associated with tissue damage. These provide information about the texture of objects, the temperature of an object, and produce a sensation called pain that signals damage to the skin.
