tactile receptor การใช้

• There are five basic types of tactile receptors : Ruffini endings, Merkel nerve endings, and free nerve endings.
• Tactile receptors are abundant on the fingertips, face, and tongue while sparse on the back, legs and arms.
• To understand " tactile sensory substitution " it is essential to understand some basic physiology of the tactile receptors of the skin.
• The density of cutaneous tactile receptors on a body part is generally indicative of the degree of sensitivity of tactile stimulation experienced at said body part.
• First order neurons carry sensory information from proprioceptive and tactile receptors to the medulla oblongata where they synapse in either the medullary gracilus or cunate nuclei.
• Basically it says that rubbing the area activates a different set of tactile receptors that produce a suppressive effect on the pain receptors . talk ) 22 : 27, 9 November 2011 ( UTC)
• Sandpipers are more geared towards tactile foraging methods than the plovers, which favour more visual foraging methods, and this is reflected in the high density of tactile receptors in the tips of their rhynchokinesis.
• Recently, several new systems have been developed that interface the tactile image to tactile receptors on different areas of the body such as the on the chest, brow, fingertip, abdomen, and forehead.
• The amount of primary somatosensory cortex devoted to a body part is not proportional to the absolute size of the body surface, but, instead, to the relative density of cutaneous tactile receptors on that body part.
• One of the earliest and most well known form of sensory substitution devices was Paul Bach-y-Rita's TVSS that converted the image from a video camera into a tactile image and coupled it to the tactile receptors on the back of his blind subject.
