Are pain receptors free nerve endings?
Free nerve endings functions as cutaneous receptors ( is a sensory receptor present on dermis or epidermis ). Present in vertebrates for sense of pain. they are frequently found on skin. *Muscle spindles
What kinds of messages do your nerves ending carry do your nerve endings carry?
pain
Which is released by damaged tissues to stimulate nerve endings and produce the sensation of pain?
prostaglandins
What are the sensations felt through the nerve cells in the skin?
free nerve endings, which are found in between the epidermal cells up to the stratnum granulosum they detect hot and cold tempratures and they can recognise other physical or chemical chainge that are above a safe level resulting in the perception of pain before damage can occur to the skin.
Bare nerve endings feel what?
Assuming the nerve endings are attached to a living person, bare, exposed, or cut nerve endings relay impulses to the brain that are interpreted as "severe, extreme pain". Nerve pain can include anything from severe burning, aching, throbbing, tingling, crawling, etc. Some people feel "numbness". An exposed nerve fiber in a tissue or nerve specimen sent to a lab doesn't "feel"; we need the attachment to the brain and interpretation of impulses to classify negative or positive sensations. However, nerves in a lab can still carry an impulse, such as an electrical current.
What type of nerve detects pain?
The type of nerve that detects pain is a naked nerve fiber. Other fibers that detect pressure, taste, etc have special endings.
What are the four nerve endings in the skin?

Why does it hurt when you disinfect a wound?
When you have a fresh wound you have exposed nerve endings. When these nerve endings are stimulated it is sensed by your brain as pain.

What is the bair nerve?
I assume "bair" to be a typo, and that you actually mean "bear nerve". Bear nerve endings are raw and exposed nerve endings. Nerve endings are found in the skin, they are scattered throughout the body. The body's nerve endings pass electrical singles (cool, cold, the pain of freezing, warm, hot, the pain of being burned, itching, stinging, and the pain of being bitten, sharp, being cut or stabbed...), that are optimized for pain detection; these messages are relayed as impulses to the brain. These tiny nerve endings are microscopic in size; they form a single that is passed on to the brain; as they feed the impulse and sensation of length, intensity, location... from the body's peripheral nerves to the brain.
Are pain receptors free nerve endings?
Free nerve endings functions as cutaneous receptors ( is a sensory receptor present on dermis or epidermis ). Present in vertebrates for sense of pain. they are frequently found on skin. *Muscle spindles
What is nocieptive pain?
Nociceptive pain occurs when pain-sensitive nerve endings called nociceptors are activated or stimulated
What kinds of messages do your nerves ending carry do your nerve endings carry?
pain
