MECHANORECEPTORS OF THE RABBIT DUODENUM [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology, 1984 A preparation is described which allowed the investigation of single‐unit afferent activity in non‐myelinated mesenteric nerves in urethane‐anaesthetized rabbits. Three classes of mechano‐receptors were isolated and were located in the muscularis externa (n = 17), the serosa (n = 5) and the mesentery (n = 2).

Modelling the mechanoreceptor's dynamic behaviour [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2015 AbstractAll sensory receptors adapt, i.e. they constantly adjust their sensitivity to external stimuli to match the current demands of the natural environment. Electrophysiological responses of sensory receptors from widely different modalities seem to exhibit common features related to adaptation, and these features can be used to examine the ...

Mechanoreceptors in human ankle ligaments
, 1995 Chronic ankle instability after ligamentous injuries has been attributed to loss of proprioception, but there has been no previous study of the mechanoreceptors in human ligaments at this joint.

Purinergic P2 Receptors: Novel Mediators of Mechanotransduction
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Mechanosensing and mechanotransduction are vital processes in mechanobiology and play critical roles in regulating cellular behavior and fate. There is increasing evidence that purinergic P2 receptors, members of the purinergic family, play a crucial ...
