Nociceptors are stimulated by tissue damage and are also called pain receptors

Pain Receptors
nerves
A tissue becomes a target tissue when it is affected or stimulated by a specific amino acid. The target tissue has the appropriate receptors to make it susceptible to the hormone.

Thermoreceptors
Mechanoreceptors
Nerve receptors are stimulated during urination. This stimulation occurs when the walls of the bladder contract and the urination reflex is automatically activated.

Sensory receptors.
Target tissues are stimulated by hormones due to the presence of specific receptors that recognize and bind to those hormones. When a hormone binds to its receptor on the target tissue, it triggers a cellular response that can lead to various physiological effects. In contrast, tissues that lack these specific receptors do not respond to the hormone, allowing for selective stimulation and regulation of physiological processes. This specificity ensures that hormones can exert their effects only where needed, maintaining proper bodily functions.
Nociceptors are sensory receptors that are located throughout the body except for within the brain. These receptors are responsible for detecting pain and tissue damage.
