| Pacinian corpuscles, or pressure receptors, are the largest peripheral mechanoreceptors in mammals. |
|
| The multitude of other mechanoreceptors act mainly as proprioceptors although some encode both proprioceptive and exteroceptive information. |
|
| The threshold loading test stimulates mechanoreceptors in respiratory muscles. |
|
| The filling of the stomach also activates the reflex, presumably through the action of gastric mechanoreceptors. |
|
| The primary mechanoreceptors in the chest are the muscle spindle endings and tendon organs of the respiratory muscles and the joint proprioceptor. |
|
| This excites neurosensory mechanoreceptors in the wall of the esophagus. |
|
| One of the human body's primary depots of sensory mechanoreceptors, the foot has a large impact on balance and postural control. |
|
| Pacinian corpuscles are mechanoreceptors present deep in the dermis and in the hypodermis, sensitive only to rapid variations of deformation. |
|
| A variety of inputs from chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors can contribute to the arousal response that terminates a period of apnea in OSA patients. |
|
| The functional existence of mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and pain receptors has been established, though only some of these can be identified with classical end organs. |
|
| Receptors of the skin are classified as thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, and nociceptors the last being sensitive to stimulation that is noxious, or likely to damage the tissues of the body. |
|
| They serve as mechanoreceptors and are involved in the function of touch. |
|
| Cattle have tactile sensations detected mainly by mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors and nociceptors in the skin and muzzle. |
|
| The recognition of direction and magnitude of the electrical total force vector is by highly sensitive mechanoreceptors at the circumferential edge of the bill. |
|
| However, these nerve endings are primarily slowly adapting mechanoreceptors that are sensitive to graded pressure on the skin, and their sensitivity to cooling is not linearly related to temperature. |
|
| Superficial tissues absorb the mechanical energy at high frequencies, which affects cutaneous mechanoreceptors located in the skin of the hand. |
|
| It is assumed that vibration leads to a higher stimulation of the mechanoreceptors of the relevant muscle, which in turn leads to increased tonicity. |
|
| A cadaveric study showed a small number of free nerve endings in the fibro-cartilage tissue of the peripheral half of the labrum, with no evidence for mechanoreceptors. |
|
| Haptic information refers to the kinesthetic and cutaneous input from mechanoreceptors within the muscles, joints, and skin of the fingers and arms. |
