Nociceptors or pain receptors are the sensory receptors. They are present in the skin and receives the signals from the damaged tissue in the skin. The signal is transmitted to the peripheral nerve to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord, the signal is passed to the thalamus with the help of neurons through neurotransmitters.
