Definition that contains nerve ending
- receptor an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation
- vasopressin hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules
- pacinian corpuscle a specialized bulblike nerve ending located in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin; occurs abundantly in the skin of palms and soles and joints and genitals
- proprioceptor special nerve endings in the muscles and tendons and other organs that respond to stimuli regarding the position and movement of the body
- antidiuretic hormone hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules
- pitressin hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules
- free nerve ending microscopic sensory nerve endings in the skin that are not connected to any specific sensory receptor
- sense organ an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation
- neuroepithelium epithelium associated with special sense organs and containing sensory nerve endings
- sensory receptor an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation
