What types of stimuli are considered "noxious"?
Noxious stimuli refer to the stimuli that are perceived as harmful or potentially harmful to the body. These stimuli may include intense heat or cold, sharp or dull pain, loud noises, and bright lights, among others. Noxious stimuli activate the body's pain receptors and trigger a chain of physiological responses as part of the body's natural defense mechanism against damage or injury. While the perception of noxious stimuli is subjective, they often elicit a negative response and are generally avoided whenever possible.
