Answer 1

CIPA, or Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis, affects the ability to feel pain and temperature due to the dysfunction of specific sensory receptors. The correct answer would be:

thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors

Thermoreceptors are responsible for detecting changes in temperature, while mechanoreceptors are responsible for sensing pain (among other tactile sensations).
