They detect pain and tissue damage:
Correct answer: D. Noiceceptor
- A. Baroreceptors
- B. Chemoreceptor
- C. Photoreceptor
- D. Noiceceptor
- E. Mechanoreceptor
Explanation
Nociceptors, also known as pain receptors, are specialized sensory receptors that detect pain and tissue damage. They are found throughout the body, including the skin, internal organs, and tissues. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
