Another name for nociceptors are pain receptors.
Most nociceptors in the human body are located in the skin, joints and muscles, and the walls of internal organs.
No, a chemoreceptor is a type of nociceptor.
pain and itch
These receptors are called nociceptors.
idk about heat, cold or pressure, but pain receptors are called nociceptors.

pain and itch
Nociceptors are a group of cells that senses painful stimuli and sends these nerve signals to the brain and the spinal cord. It has been documented that both mammals and non-mammals have nociceptors that respond to thermal, mechanical or chemical stresses.
Nociceptors are the receptors that adapt most slowly. Other receptors include smell, touch, and pressure receptors, which adapt faster than nociceptors.
nociceptors
The sensory receptors that respond to the distortion or bending of tissue are called nociceptors. Nociceptors send pain signals to the brain and spinal cord.
pain receptors, you can feel it everywhere apart from the brain!
