Question on: JAMB Biology - 2015

The nerve endings in the skin are responsible for detecting various sensations, including: * **Cold:** Specialized receptors detect low temperatures. * **Pain:** Pain receptors (nociceptors) detect potentially harmful stimuli. * **Pressure:** Mechanoreceptors detect pressure and touch. Weakness, however, is not a sensation directly detected by the nerve endings in the skin. Weakness is generally a feeling associated with the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, rather than the skin itself.
