ANP 1111 – Neuroanatomy Exam Questions with Correct Answers| Latest
Update 100% Solved
epithelial tactile complexes - located at the junction between epidermis and dermis
- senses light pressure such as touch
- Merkel discs are associated with epithelial tactile complexes
- exteroreceptors
- mechanoreceptors
hair follicle receptors - light touch receptors that detect bending of hairs
- exteroceptors
- mechanoreceptors
free nerve endings - proprioceptors, exteroceptors, interoceptors
- thermoregulation, chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors
Meissner's corpiscles touch receptors
enclosed by shwann cells and thin CT
- found in areas that lack hair follicles: dermal papillae of nipples, soles of feet, fingertips.
Pacinian corpiscles - on and off pressure (vibration)
Ruffini endings - respond to deep and continuous pressure
List three proprioceptive nerve endings - muscle spindles
- tendon organs
- joint kinesthetic receptors
