WHAT DOES NOCICEPTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nociception

Nociception is the encoding and processing in the nervous system of noxious stimuli. It is the afferent activity in the peripheral and central nervous systems produced by stimulation of specialized free nerve endings called "nociceptors" or "pain receptors" that only respond to tissue damage caused by intense chemical, mechanical or thermal stimulation. Once stimulated, a nociceptor sends a signal along a chain of nerve fibers via the spinal cord to the brain. Nociception triggers a variety of autonomic responses and may also result in a subjective experience of pain in sentient beings. Nociceptive neurons generate trains of action potentials in response to intense stimuli, and the frequency of firing determines the intensity of the pain. The three types of pain receptors are cutaneous, somatic, and visceral. It was previously believed that pain was simply the overloading of sensory receptors, but research in the first half of the 20th century indicated that pain is a distinct phenomenon that intertwines with all of the other senses, including touch.
