Solution
The correct option is D Skin
- Receptors for touch, pressure, pain and temperature are found in the skin.
- When we feel pain, such as when we touch a hot stove, sensory receptors in our skin send a message via nerve fibres to the spinal cord and brainstem and then onto the brain where the sensation of pain is registered, the information is processed and the pain is perceived. Hence, skin is the sense organ which senses the pain.
