Answer 1

If someone spills very hot coffee on their skin, they will likely perceive much pain. The type of receptor that is causing this sensation is the Nociceptor. The Nociceptor is the type of sensory receptor at the end of the sensory neuron's axon, which responds to damaging or harming stimuli by sending signals of pain to the brain and spinal cord.
