Free Nerve Endings Respond to All of the Following Stimuli

Question

Free nerve endings respond to all of the following stimuli except:
A)tickling.
B)itching.
C)strength of muscle contractions.
D)pain.

Accepted Answer

Free nerve endings respond to mechanical and thermal stimuli as well as pain and itching. However, they do not respond to the strength of muscle contractions, which is detected by muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. Tickling can also be sensed by free nerve endings, but it is not as consistent as the other stimuli listed.
