# Definition Sets
1nerve receptors that respond to pressure and vibration2 sets
2pressure receptor2 sets
3are sensitive to pressure located in hypodermis and dermis.2 sets
4lameilated corpuscle; sense heavy pressure1 set
5capable of detecting deep pressure1 set
6receptors in skin that sense pressure1 set
7nerve ending for tickle (deep, dynamic)1 set
8encapsulated nerve ending, deep touch, pressure and vibration1 set
9superficial, fast, tickle1 set
10relates to pressure1 set
11a specialzed somatosensory nerve ending that detects mechanical stimuli especially vibrations1 set
12-detection of vibration1 set
13a specialized encapsulated (naked) somatosensory nerve ending, which detects mechanical stimuli, especially vibrations1 set
14in subcutaneous tissue & both hairy & glaborous skin; rapidly adapting receptors1 set
15resembles a cut onion1 set
16deep pressure sensory receptor of the skin1 set
17a specialized somatosensory nerve ending, which detects mechanical stimuli, especialy vibrations1 set
18a specialized somatosensory nerve ending, which detects mechanical stimuli, especially vibrations1 set
19most complicated nerve ending, sensitive to pressure and vibration1 set
20nerve receptors that respond to pressure and vibrations; they are oval capsules of sensory nerve fibers located in the subcutaneous fatty tissue1 set
21makes the skin capable of detecting pressure1 set
22skin receptor cell that detects vibration1 set
23a receptor with a distinctive elliptical shape associated with ra2 mechanoreceptors. it transmits pressure to the nerve fiber inside it only at the beginning or end of a pressure stimulus, and is responsible for our perception of vibration and fine textures that are perceived when moving the fingers over a surface.1 set
24senses deep pressure; phasic receptor with adaptation, graded potentils-action potential at first node of ranvier1 set
25round coil bottom of dermis1 set
26a receptor that detects vibration, fast-adapting1 set
27below reticular layer - deep touch receptors1 set
28very large, onion-like oval receptor deep in lower dermis and hypodermis; mechanoreceptors for pressure/vibration1 set
29a sensory receptor that senses deep touch1 set
30very rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor1 set
31primarily responsible for sensing vibration1 set
