Nerve Endings are described as:

• A. Warm and cold receptors
• B. Pressure receptors
• C. Light touch receptors
• D. Pain receptors

Answer: (A)

Nerve endings in the skin primarily function as thermoreceptors, sensing temperature changes. These receptors are categorized as warm receptors and cold receptors, which respond to rising or falling skin temperatures, respectively. That’s why nerve endings are described as warm and cold receptors. While other nerve endings detect pressure, light touch, or pain, the standard description for these particular endings centers on their role in temperature sensation, making warm and cold receptors the best-fit description.
