AB - CUTANEOUS AND SUBCUTANEOUS SENSE ORGANS A Iggo the Pacinian corpuscle, or consist of an extensive brush-like inner spindle as in the Ruffini ending. The encapsulated endings are usually found in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and a characteristic feature is that the myelination is present until the nerve enters the receptor. CUTANEOUS AND SUBCUTANEOUS The Pacinian corpuscle is a well-known corpuscle ranging in length from *0.5mm to 2mm, with an average length of SENSE ORGANS « 1 mm and adiameterof 0.7mm. The terminal of the myelina- ted nerve fibre extends as a central non-myelinated element within the corpuscle, and is surrounded by lamellated inner and A IGGO DSc outer cores (QuiUiam, 1966). Any deformation applied to the outside of the capsule is filtered by the lamellae so that only Department of Physiology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine high-frequency components penetrate to affect the transducer University of Edinburgh elements at the centre. This corpuscle is generally found in the deeper layers of the skin, including the subcutaneous tissue as, for example, in the fingers. 1 Morphology of sense organs 2 Afferent nerve supply of the skin The Ruffini ending is in the dermis. It has a thin capsule 3 Functional specificity
