In reference to question number 2. This theory explains the confusion of neural signals
There are people who have had damage to some part of these tracts, often after a stroke, who

Q.3)
Special sensory neurons in the skin and other tissues of the body. It translates certain stimuli
into action potentials that are then transmitted to more central parts of the nervous system
A.
nociceptors
(Your Answer)
B.
astrocytes
C.
receptors
D.
oligodendroglia
Explanation
There are four kinds of nociceptors:
Thermal nociceptors are sensitive to high or low temperatures.
Mechanical nociceptors respond to strong pressure to the skin that comes with cuts and blows.
These receptors respond quickly, and often trigger protective reflexes!
Chemical nociceptors respond to a variety of chemicals released with tissue damage, as well as
to external chemicals such as capsaicin (the chemical that makes hot peppers "hot") and spider
venom.
Polymodal nociceptors can be excited by strong pressure, by heat or cold, and by chemical
stimulation as well.
Silent (or sleeping) nociceptors stay quiet - hence the name - but become more sensitive to
stimulation when they are surrounded by inflammation.

the meaning of life and how to obtain fulfillment of spiritual needs.
