Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an important functional parameter of pain receptors?

Question 2 of 5
Stimulation by touching or pulling on which structure is least likely to cause a painful sensation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The brain tissue (postcentral gyrus) lacks pain receptors, unlike dura and blood vessels. TMP13 p. 629
