... Mechanosensation Strike Thermosensation Multidendritic To avoid bodily damage, animals detect potentially harmful stimuli with a specialized sensory system called nociception. This involves peripheral sensory neurons (nociceptors) that have a high threshold for activation by thermal, mechanical...
