Clustering of slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in human peripheral nerve and skin.
The intrafascicular organization of human peripheral nerves was studied with percutaneous microneurography in the median, radial and peroneal nerves with one-surface or two-surface thin diameter concentric needle electrodes. Data from 33 recording sites containing 47 slowly adapting type II (SAII) units were analysed. At many sites two, sometimes even three, neighbouring SAII units were recorde...
متن کاملEncoding of compressive stress during indentation by slowly adapting type I mechanoreceptors in rat hairy skin.
The mechanical state encoded by slowly adapting type 1 mechanoreceptors (SAI) during indentation was examined using an isolated preparation in a rat model. Skin and its intact innervation were harvested from the medial thigh of the rat hindlimb and placed in a dish, with the corium side down, containing synthetic interstitial fluid. The margins of the skin were coupled to an apparatus that coul...
متن کاملResponse properties of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors in mouse glabrous skin: an in vivo study.
The increasing use of transgenic mice for the study of pain mechanisms necessitates comprehensive understanding of the murine somatosensory system. Using an in vivo mouse preparation, we studied response properties of tibial nerve afferent fibers innervating glabrous skin. Recordings were obtained from 225 fibers identified by mechanical stimulation of the skin. Of these, 106 were classed as A ...
متن کاملResponse of slowly adapting articular mechanoreceptors in the cat knee joint to alterations in intra-articular volume.
Recordings were obtained from slowly adapting mechanoreceptors innervating the posterior aspect of the cat knee joint capsule. It was observed that, with rising intra-articular volume, initially both intra-articular pressure and the neural discharge increased. This increase was dependent on the rate of fluid accumulation within the joint. However, the joint nerve discharge invariably levelled o...
متن کاملVibration Exposure of the Glabrous Skin of the Human Hand
Lundström, Ronnie, 1985. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand. Umeå University, Medical Dissertions, New Series, 136. An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neu rological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibra tion syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. Early signs of ...
