Where are the cutaneous receptors for pain located?

Cutaneous receptors for pain are located primarily in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. They are particularly concentrated in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, and in the underlying dermis. These receptors are responsible for detecting painful stimuli such as heat, pressure, or injury on the skin's surface.
