Abstract

The thermosensors in thè skin and thè deep body tissues are diviiled into tvvo groups: specific and non-specific thermosensors. The speciflc thermosensors include thè simple sensory nerve formations (SNF —"free nerve eridings") and aborizations. They are locar.ed in thè epiclermis, epitheliurn and deep tissues. The non-specific thermosensors for cooling, determined to date, aie Ruttmi SNF, some muscle spindles, Merkel complexes and some Heibst and Pacinian corpuscles. The "secondary" ability of slowly adapting mechanosensors is made possible by thè presente of thin nerve fibers(up lo lOum). In some Ilfibst (birds) and Pacinian corpuscles (mammals) with rapid adaptation this ability cari be explaincd by presence of thin accessory nerve fibcrs. These fibers were also found in some Meissner, glomerular, simple lamellar and Golgi-Mazzonj corpuscles. The aulhors thercfore suspected non-specific thermosensors for cold in ìhese corpuscles, too. Information on cooling is importarli for thè survival o( wann bloodcd animals. The presence of complicated mechanosensors is not necessary for different kinds of stimuli perception since thè sirnple SNF and aborizations serve thè different modalities. The peripheral morphological basis of ear acupuncture can also be explained in this way.
