Free Nerve Ending
Pain and Temp
C: slow, unmyelinated
Adelta: fast, myelinated
Meissner Corpusles
large, myelinated, adapt quickly at hairless skin
dynamic, fine touch, position sense
Pacinian Corpusles
large, myelinated, adapt quickly at deep skin/ligament/joint
vibration, pressure
Merkel Discs
large, myelinated, adapt slowly at basal epidermis, hair follicles
pressure, deep static touch, position sense
Lateral Hypothalmus
Hunger
X -> anorexia, failure to thrive
inhibited by leptin
Ventromedial Hypothalmus
Satiety
X -> hyperphagia
stimulated by leptin
Anterior Hypothalmus
Cooling, PNS
Posterior Hypothalmus
Heating, SNS
Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
