Question
Chapter 16, Problem 12DYKB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which visceral nociceptors are different from somatic nociceptors and the way they relate to the phenomenon of “referred pain”.
Concept introduction:
There are certain cells or tissues that are called receptors. The function of these groups of cells is to sense the stimulus from the surroundings and send them to the brain for further processing and interpretation. There are basically five types of receptors which are thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, nociceptors, mechanoreceptors, and photoreceptors.

A greater skin surface area always results in a lower two-point threshold because there is physically more room in which to house sensory receptors. With a low two-point threshold, there is a greater density of sensory receptors to allow for more precise location of the sensation by the somatosensory cortex. O A low threshold suggests a decreased sensation in that area, meaning a wide receptive field on that area of skin.arrow_forward
