Stimulation of Nociceptors in the Skin Gives Rise to Superficial

Question

Stimulation of nociceptors in the skin gives rise to superficial somatic pain.

Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are sensory receptors that respond to potentially damaging stimuli by sending signals to the spinal cord and brain. When they are stimulated in the skin, they give rise to superficial somatic pain, which is pain arising from the skin or close to the surface of the body.
