The Deployment of Sensory Nerve Endings at the Knee Joint of the Cat.

The Deployment of Sensory Nerve Endings at the Knee Joint of the Cat. Nerve impulses in the medial articular nerve to the knee joint of the cat have been studied. The responses of sensory nerve endings located in the knee to position and movement of the tibia are described. The endings are slowly adapting and seem to be arranged sothat each has an arc of maximum sensitivity covering a few degrees of angular movement but these ranges are different for individual endings. The significance of this is discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Physiologica Wiley

Abstract

Nerve impulses in the medial articular nerve to the knee joint of the cat have been studied. The responses of sensory nerve endings located in the knee to position and movement of the tibia are described. The endings are slowly adapting and seem to be arranged sothat each has an arc of maximum sensitivity covering a few degrees of angular movement but these ranges are different for individual endings. The significance of this is discussed.
