Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem. The receptors potentially leading to pain perceptions in our body are called. So we're given a list of receptors that we need to choose this from. So I want you to recall from previous videos what the function of each of these receptors is. And so we have beginning by mechanism receptors. These are receptors involved in perceiving pressure differences in our bodies and physical distortion. So they're not really involved in pain perception. So we're going to cancel them out. We know we have option B which are appropriate receptors which are involved in the position and movement of Mosul and joints. So they're really again not involved in pain perception, they're more involved in movement. So we're going to cancel them out as well. And we have photo receptors And if you know the prefix photo it means light. These are receptors for light in our body. These are not really involved in pain either. So we're going to cancel them out. Leaving us with answer choice D. Which are nazi sectors and these nazi sectors. What they do is that they are involved in perceiving types of tissue damage. So when the tissue is damaged, they let our brain no. And so by doing that we are activating this pain response from her body to stop that tissue damage from happening. And so that is the way that our brains or bodies have of perceiving pain. And so that is going to be our final answer. Thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video. And I really hope it helped you.
