Cutaneous receptors for pain are free nerve endings or more specifically nociceptors and they are located in the sub dermal tissues of the skin.

Touch, temperature and pain.
similar to sensory receptors in the body, they recognize a change in stimulus
Touch, Pressure, Temperature and Pain
Both somatic and visceral pain. The somatic pain would come from cutaneous receptors and visceral pain from the intestines.
Cutaneous sensory receptors in the skin are part of the somatosensory portion of the nervous system.
Pain Receptors
pain receptors
Cutaneous Sensory Receptors are clustered in certain spots instead of being uniformly distributed. This clustering is called punctate distribution.
