A person who has the condition CIPA is unable to feel pain or temperature which sensory receptors are affected by this condition

Answer 1

The condition CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis) affects the function of different sensory receptors. In individuals with CIPA, the sensory receptors affected include nociceptors and thermoreceptors. Nociceptors are responsible for detecting and signaling the sensation of pain, while thermoreceptors are responsible for detecting and signaling the sensation of temperature. Due to the dysfunction of these receptors, individuals with CIPA are unable to feel pain or temperature.
