Question
Extreme temperatures causing pain are detected by:
Explanation
Go with C — Nociceptors. Within Thermoregulation, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, Nociceptors is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Thermoregulation. Holding that picture in mind makes Nociceptors feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Nociceptors. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.
