Afferent nerve endings without mechanoreceptor cells are called free nerve endings.
2.
Free nerve endings are the pain receptors for protection of the temporomandibular joint itself.
3.
The electroreceptors of monotremes consist of free nerve endings located in the mucous glands of the snout.
4.
Lasers can emit a radiant-heat pulse stimulus to selectively activate A-delta and C free nerve endings.
5.
There are five basic types of tactile receptors : Ruffini endings, Merkel nerve endings, and free nerve endings.
6.
A proposed explanation for the reduced sensitivity is the induced quiescence of free nerve endings following long term corneal exposure to contact lenses.
7.
Halata & Spathe ( 1997 ) reported that " the glans penis contains a predominance of free nerve endings, numerous genital Ruffinian corpuscles.
8.
Mechanorecepting Free nerve endings ( ( touch, pressure, stretch ) Hair follicle receptors are located in hair follicles and sense the position of hairs.
9.
Oligochaetes can taste their surroundings using chemoreceptors located in tubercles across their body, and their skin is also supplied with numerous free nerve endings that presumably contribute to their sense of touch.
10.
These substances then stimulate free nerve endings in the muscle; a process that appears accentuated by eccentric exercise, in which large forces are distributed over a relatively small cross-sectional area of the muscle.
