The sensory fibres offer continuous monitoring and an early warning system of earth movement.

Note the pathway followed by sensory fibres from the heart to the spinal cord.

Injury or tissue damage stimulates nerve impulses in specialised sensory fibres.

Functional differences in motor and sensory fibres.

Most, if not all, of the central boutons correspond to the termination of myelinated sensory fibres.

Her magic ability is "Sensory Fibres", which allows her to observe locations from afar.

They join with general somatic sensory and special sensory fibres to form the nervus intermedius.

A feather is firmly held in a follicle, the wall of which is richly supplied with sensory fibres and nerves.

It is usually caused by the presence of a plaque where the sensory fibres of the fifth cranial nerve enter the brainstem.

He also introduced the idea that different sensory fibres within the normal retina could be selectively fatigued, so as to yield coloured after-images.

The sensory fibres from the appendix originate from about T10; the pain is therefore referred to the umbilical region of the anterior abdominal wall.

Indeed, the spinal dorsal horn is the first level in the central nervous system (CNS) where input from sensory fibres innervating the body is integrated.

The total number of fibres is unusually high as is the content of sensory fibres (estimated as the loss of fibres after ganglionectomy).

The single largest group of sensory fibres leaving skeletal muscles are small myelinated or unmyelinated (groups III and IV) fibres.

Answers to Topic 2 Return to questions Very little effect; although the dorsal roots supply sensory fibres to the corresponding segments, there is much overlap with adjoining segments.

There are four main types of sensory fibres responsible for somatosensation: Aα, Aβ, Aδ and C fibres (more details can be found at the axon page).

A differential nerve fibre block suggests that high intensity TENS works by maximal stimulation of large sensory fibres thereby inhibiting the pain signal at the level of the spinal cord.

This is impressive and important work addressing one of the major limitations found with existing options for electrical stimulation to control bladder emptying, namely the need to surgically destroy the sensory fibres coming from the bladder.

The greater palatine nerve (anterior palatine nerve) is a branch of the pterygopalatine ganglion that carries both general sensory fibres from the maxillary nerve and parasympathetic fibers from the nerve of the pterygoid canal.

At one extreme, the description of the reflex pathway can be regarded as an account of a "real-time" journey of the impulses from the pain receptor along the sensory fibres to the spinal cord and back along the motor fibres to the biceps muscle.

Also, sensory fibers were shown to have a lower threshold for electric stimulation.

The decussation of sensory fibers happens at this point.

Sensory fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system.

That's the earliest time anatomic studies give for the first sensory fibers reaching the early brain.

Sensory fibers are, amongst other things, responsible for sensation, proprioception and the sense of movement.

The zygomatic nerve carries sensory fibers from the skin.

Sensory fibers lesions cause the sensory problems below to the site of injury.

Special sensory fibers providing taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

This theory assumes that there is an almost complete decussation of sensory fibers within the grey matter.

All sensory fibers from these nerves terminate in the trigeminal nucleus.

Thus, sensory fibers, whether somatic or visceral, lead from the various organs directly to the central nervous system.

These visual sensory fibers arrive from the retinal ganglion cells.

The superficial branch then continues onto the dorsum of the foot to supply sensory fibers to the skin there.

These neurons receive input from sensory fibers that innervate the skin and internal organs.

A nerve contains sensory fibers, motor fibers, or both.

For magnetic stimulation, the motor fiber threshold was lower than that for sensory fibers.

Esasky is working on strengthening the other two systems - vision and the sensory fibers in the feet called the proprioceptive system - to compensate.

Sensory fibers supply the middle ear.

It receives special visceral sensory fibers (taste) from the posterior one-third of the tongue.

Current flow due to such potential difference further results in a receptor potential that is presynaptic to the sensory fibers.

It was a female of the species, distinguished from the male by the pattern of sensory fibers fringing her forward intake.

They are generally visceral sensory fibers and preganglionic autonomic fibers.

The ophthalmic nerve carries only sensory fibers.

The two kinds of sensory fibers are different in respect to the kind of potentials they generate:

The loss of sensory fibers to the joint is theorized to lead to damage of the joint over time.
