touch receptor

It is true that the lips do have many of these touch receptors.

He thought skin and its touch receptors could act as a retina (using one sense for another).

Braille reading involves hyperacuity among touch receptors in the fingertips.

This factor may also regulate mec-3 and thereby control touch receptor neuron fate.

This layer also contains pain and touch receptors.

The filoplumes move with the contour feathers, and have small touch receptors at their bases.

It has touch receptors, and oil and sweat glands.

Changes of pressure across the fingertips produce much more intense input from touch receptors than steady pressure.

Then a low-level laser beam helps reveal the extent of nerve damage in the skin's touch receptors.

Instead, it has sensitive touch receptors (Merkel cells).

These sensory receptors are generally known as touch receptors or pressure receptors.

Touch receptors in your lips allow them to feel many kinds of sensations, but those receptors are located all over the body.

The extremely sensitive nasal tentacles are covered with minute touch receptors known as Eimer's organs.

The absolute threshold for touch is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from touch receptors.

Recent research has developed a tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and touch receptors of human fingertips.

Touch-to-visual sensory substitution transfers information from touch receptors to the visual cortex for interpretation and perception.

This sequence also disrupted extension of the PLM touch receptor axon.

"Fox squirrels also have several sets of vibrissae, thick hairs or whiskers that are used as touch receptors to sense the environment.

Touch to touch sensory substitution is where information from touch receptors of one region can be used to perceive touch in another.

The reflex is initiated by touch receptors in the pharynx as the bolus of food is pushed to the back of the mouth.

Furthermore, this factor may help activate mec-3 expression and thereby cause the ALMs to differentiate into touch receptor neurons.

Touch receptors, called Meissner's corpuscles, are the receptor cells for detecting light touch [source: Rutgers].

The odd flattened bill is also richly endowed with touch receptors, and the platypus seems to use its electric and touch senses together when searching for food.

Properties of stimuli such as size and shape, as detected by touch receptors in the skin, are stored in the anterior part of the parietal lobe.

There are touch receptors along the inner edges of the kerantinised bill, which are collectively known as the 'bill tip organ', allowing for highly dextrous manipulations.
