Exteroceptors are the afferent nerve endings that sense stimuli originating from outside of the body, such as pain, touch, vibration, temperature, and sound. One type of exteroceptors are known as mechanoreceptors, which are receptors that respond to external mechanical stimuli such as touch, pressure, and vibration.
A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. In the human there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, one on each side of the vertebral column. These are grouped into the corresponding cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions of the spine.
