Which receptors adapt most slowly?

A) touch receptors
B) pressure receptors
C) nociceptors
D) smell receptors

Nociceptors

Sensory receptors that detect signals from damaged tissue and send pain signals to the central nervous system.

Pressure Receptors

Sensory nerve endings that respond to changes in pressure, especially those in the cardiovascular system that help regulate blood pressure.

Smell Receptors

Specialized nerve cells located in the nose that detect chemical molecules in the air and transmit signals to the brain, resulting in the perception of odors.
