Topic: Meissners corpuscle


  
  Pacinian corpuscle at AllExperts
Similar in physiology to the Meissner's corpuscle, Pacinian corpuscles are larger and fewer in number than both Merkel cells and Meissner's corpuscles (Kandel et al., 2000).
In the center of the corpuscle is the inner bulb, a fluid-filled cavity with a single afferent unmyelinated nerve ending.
Pacinian corpuscles cause action potentials when the skin is rapidly indented but not when the pressure is steady, due to the layers of connective tissue that cover the nerve ending (Kandel et al., 2000).

  Meissner's corpuscle - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Meissner's corpuscle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Meissner's corpuscles (discovered by the anatomist Georg Meissner (1829-1903) are a type of mechanoreceptor and more specifically, a tacticle corpuscle (corpusculum tactus).
Meissner's corpuscles are encapsulated unmyelinated nerve endings, which consist of flattened supportive cells arranged as horizontal lamellae surrounded by a connective tissue capsule.
Feelings of deep pressure (from a poke, for instance) are generated from Pacinian corpuscles (the only other type of phasic tactile mechanoreceptor), which are located deeper in the dermis, and some free nerve endings.

The Meissner's corpuscle is probably the most difficult structure for the anatomy and physiology student to find.
It is rather oval in shape, but the connective tissue which makes up its outer capsule does not distinguish it from the surrounding connective tissue of the papillary layer of the dermis.
Meissners's corpuscle is a general sensory receptor that is responsible for touch and light pressure, hence its common name, touch receptors.

 Mechanoreceptor at AllExperts
There are four main types in the glabrous skin of humans: Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's discs, and Ruffini corpuscles.
Rapidly adapting type I mechanoreceptors have multiple Meissner corpuscle end-organs, while Rapidly Adapting type II mechanoreceptors (usually called Pacinian) have single Pacinian corpuscle end-organs.
Work in rhesus monkeys has found virtually identical mechanoreceptors with the exception of Ruffini corpuscles which are not found in the monkey.

 Meissners corpuscle - definition from Biology-Online.org
One of numerous oval bodies found in the papillae of the skin, especially those of the fingers and toes; they consist of a connective tissue capsule in which the axon fibrils terminate around and between a pile of wedge-shaped epithelioid cells.
Synonym: corpusculum tactus, meissner's corpuscle, oval corpuscle, touch corpuscle.

The interesting portion of this paper is the concept that human skin is a elastic body and functions as a low-pass filter, signal decays exponentially from surface to deeper, the decaying coefficient is the wave number K (=1/wavelength) of the signal.
Hence fine texture signal can not reach deeper mechanoreceptors, i.e., can not feel by Pacinian Corpuscles.
With this device, they are able to identify difference between different virtual object and different motion.
