The condition CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis), also known as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV, affects the sensory receptors of a person. In this condition, the affected individual is unable to feel pain or detect changes in temperature.
The correct answer is thermoreceptors and nociceptors (pain receptors). Thermoreceptors are sensory receptors that detect changes in temperature, enabling us to feel hot or cold sensations. Nociceptors, on the other hand, are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals of pain sensations to the brain.
As a result of CIPA, both thermoreceptors and nociceptors are affected or absent, leading to the inability to detect pain or changes in temperature.
