nociceptors are a type of chemoreceptor?
151104
*Nociceptors (pain receptors) are a type of chemoreceptor that respond to chemicals released by damaged tissues. ... *All sensory receptors do initiate nerve signals. The sensation that results depends on the part of the brain receiving the nerve signals.

[' sensory neurons—receive impulses and carry them from the sense organs to the spinal cord or brain.', ' interneurons—connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse; only in the brain and spinal cord.', ' motor neurons—carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.']

There are three major types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.

Olfactory receptors are examples of a pain receptors.

Thermoreceptors are of two types, warmth and cold. Warmth fibres are excited by rising temperature and inhibited by falling temperature, and cold fibres respond in the opposite manner.

The primary somatosensory cortex is responsible for processing somatic sensations. These sensations arise from receptors positioned throughout the body that are responsible for detecting touch, proprioception (i.e. the position of the body in space), nociception (i.e. pain), and temperature.

Wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons are nociceptive neurons that respond with small responses to innocuous pressure to deep tissue, and stronger and graded responses to noxious mechanical stimulation of peripheral tissues. They often also respond to noxious, thermal and chemical stimuli.

PERIPHERAL CHEMORECEPTORS. Peripheral chemoreceptors are activated by changes in the partial pressure of oxygen and trigger respiratory drive changes aimed at maintaining normal partial pressure levels.

The spinal nerves carry sensory information from the peripheral body parts to the spinal cord. The sensory neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia. The peripheral fibers of these sensory neurons form the sensory fibers present in the spinal cord.

The Tactile System. The Somatosensory System or Tactile System, includes multiple types of sensation from the body - light touch, pain, pressure, temperature, and joint and muscle position sense (also called proprioception).

Proprioception and Neuromuscular Control Mechanoreceptors are sensory neurons or peripheral afferents located within joint capsular tissues, ligaments, tendons, muscle, and skin.

In mammals, nociceptors are found in any area of the body that can sense noxious stimuli. External nociceptors are found in tissue such as the skin (cutaneous nociceptors), the corneas, and the mucosa.

Chemoreceptors are sensitive to arterial levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide (CO2), and pH, and are located in the same region as the arterial baroreceptors, in the carotid and aortic bodies and travel to the CNS via the same nerve bundles as the arterial baroreceptors.

Stimuli in the environment activate specialized receptors or receptor cells in the peripheral nervous system. Different types of stimuli are sensed by different types of receptors. Receptor cells can be classified into types on the basis of three different criteria: cell type, position, and function.

There are two types of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) that bind acetylcholine and transmit its signal: muscarinic AChRs and nicotinic AChRs, which are named after the agonists muscarine and nicotine, respectively.

Peripheral chemoreceptors (carotid and aortic bodies) and central chemoreceptors (medullary neurons) primarily function to regulate respiratory activity. This is an important mechanism for maintaining arterial blood pO2, pCO2, and pH within appropriate physiological ranges.

Nociceptors are sensory receptors that detect signals from damaged tissue or the threat of damage and indirectly also respond to chemicals released from the damaged tissue. ... They transduce a variety of noxious stimuli into receptor potentials, which in turn initiate action potential in the pain nerve fibers.
