Nerve conduction in the skin https://medienportal.siemens-stiftung.org/portal/displayobjdetail.php?setlang=en&objid=104553
The cells of the nervous system are introduced and the basic structure of a nerve cell is described. The process of transmitting a nerve impulse from the skin to the brain is explained based on saltatory conduction. In addition, the different skin sensors are introduced: • Free nerve endings • Tactile corpuscles (Meissner’s corpuscles) • Cold receptors (Krause’s corpuscles) • Heat receptors (Ruffini’s corpuscles) • Pressure receptors (Pacinian corpuscles)
