hair follicles |
| muslces in the hair that pull the hair upright on the skin. |
Arrector Papillae |
| hair is made up of ____ filaments arising from a specialized follicle in the dermis |
Keratin |
| detects light touch (pressure), monitor vibration and adapts to stimuli slowly |
Meissner Corpulse |
| respond to superficial pressure and skin displacement |
Merkel Disk |
| Deep-pressure sensitive, perceives proprioceptive information about joint positions, and adapt to stimuli |
Pacinian Corpulse |
| Stimulated by lowering temperatures and are found widely distributed in the subcutaneous layer |
Krause end bulbs |
| detects pain and is located in all parts of the body |

inversion |
| occurs when distal end of a joint moves in a circle and the proximal end is relatively fixed |
circumduction |
| movements away from median plane |
abduction |
| movement occuring when a bone moves around its own central axis |
rotation |
| movement forward |
protraction |
| joint where only rotation is permitted |
pivot |
| joint with the greatest range of movement |
