Which type of sensory receptor cell detects itch and pain?

Itch is detected by specialized nerve endings called pruriceptors, while pain is detected by nociceptors. Both types of sensory receptors are found in the skin and are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to these sensations to the brain.
