Summary Introduction

To review:

Thechange if the nociceptors are rapidly adapting receptors instead of slowly adapting receptors. Whether the change being potentially harmful or beneficial.

Introduction:

The nociceptors are the receptors that depolarize when they are met with noxious or painful stimuli. These receptors are located close to the surface of the body and are able to detect impulses that are triggered from the outer environment. The presence of these receptors in the body surfaces makes themtypical exteroceptors.
