| Â | Heat And Exercise Alone May Not Determine How Much We Sweat |
 | | A new study used this approach to test the hypothesis that sweat rate is modulated by muscle mechanoreceptor stimulation during the recovery period from exercise. | | | Throughout exercise and recovery, there were no significant differences in esophageal or mean skin temperatures between bouts. | | | The mechanoreceptor responds to mechanical energy of physical movement or muscle activity derived from exercise. |

| Â | Dysafferentation: A Novel Term |
| | Mechanoreceptors are located in the skin, muscles, joint structures and the intervertebral disc (13, 14, 92). | | | Corpuscular mechanoreceptors are found in the skin, joint structures and muscles (14, 21, 95). | | | A brief review of mechanoreceptor subtypes, their basic functions and the neuroanatomical pathways associated with mechanoreceptors will help to outline potential symptoms that may develop because of joint complex dysfunction. |

| Â | Phasic mechanoreceptor stimuli can induce phasic activation of upper airway muscles in humans -- Akahoshi et al. 531 ... |
| | If ongoing upper airway mechanoreceptor reflexes predominate, this would provide a feedback mechanism whereby local changes in the mechanical conditions of the upper airway could directly affect dilator muscle activity and protect upper airway patency within each breath. | | | Although our data suggest that upper airway dilator muscles can be activated throughout inspiration via ongoing upper airway mechanoreceptor reflexes, a large body of evidence in humans and animals demonstrates that chemoreceptive stimuli can also drive these muscles. | | | Overall, we do not consider the possibility of volitional control of pump muscles to greatly affect our interpretation because this eventuality would add even one more condition in which the robust relationship between airway mechanoreceptor activity and genioglossus activity is stable, i.e. |

| | Mechanoreception has been found to be dependent on the integrity of actin microfilaments which transfer stimulus energy directly to the mechanoreceptor channels through covalent linkages. | | | The relation of the actin cytoskeleton to the mechanoreceptor channels is therefore being studied through the use of fluorescent probes for f-actin and a photoaffinity label which binds specifically to the channels. | | | Present research efforts are directed at determining the molecular basis of mechanical stimulus transduction and mechanoreceptor channel modulation. |

| | Taken from things learned in a basic psychology class he went with the concept of Mechanoreceptor (the brain receptors that allow you to feel pressure around you). | | | This song according to Shift244 was one of the first creative thoughts he ever did. | | | Anyways, it has a lot of deep meanings, but I want to keep the meaning to listeners very simple and allow you to think the rest. |

| | The cells are so sensitive that a movement that deflects the bristles only a small fraction of a micrometer can be sensed by the brain. | | | Because the physiology of these cells is remarkably similar to that of cells in the inner ear of humans, their achievement should provide important insights into how to treat, prevent anddiagnose human hearing disorders. | | | Many of these cells, which are found in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, consist of tiny hair-like structures that, when deflected, open ion channels in the cells, triggering the release of neurotransmitters, which then produce electrical responses in the brain. |
