Which of the following somatic sensory neurons is responsible for the perception of pain?
Correct answer: C. Nociceptors
- A. Mechanoreceptors
- B. Proprioceptors
- C. Nociceptors
- D. Photoreceptors
Explanation
Mechanoreceptors, propioreceptors, photoreceptors, and nociceptors are all classified as somatic sensory receptors, and are responsible for conveying information about the external environment to the brain.Nociceptors are able to detect and transmit the sensations of pain and extreme temperatures.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
