Mechanoreceptors of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament [PDF]
Journal of International Medical Research, 2008 The mechanical role of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in the passive and functional stability of the knee joint has been well documented. Both these knee joint ligaments contain Ruffini, Pacinian, Golgi and free nerve endings with different capabilities of providing the central nervous system with information regarding movement and ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Mechanoreceptor Adaptation
, 1994 Mechanoreceptor adaptation to maintained stimulation serves to maximize dynamic sensitivity over a broad stimulus domain. Mechanosensitive channel currents in hair cells and oocytes show similar voltage-dependent adaptation.

Ultrastructural evidence of a mechanosensory function of scale organs (sensilla) in sea snakes (Hydrophiinae) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The evolution of epidermal scales was a major innovation in lepidosaurs, providing a barrier to dehydration and physical stress, while functioning as a sensitive interface for detecting mechanical stimuli in the environment.

The evolution of scale sensilla in the transition from land to sea in elapid snakes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Scale sensilla are small tactile mechanosensory organs located on the head scales of many squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). In sea snakes and sea kraits (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae), these scale organs are presumptive scale sensilla that purportedly ...
