Ruffini End Organs

Sensory receptors located in the skin and joints that detect stretch, pressure, and heat, contributing to the sense of body position and motion.

Mechanoreceptors

Specialized sensory receptors responsible for sensing mechanical pressure or distortion, playing a crucial role in touch and sound perception.

Lower Motor Neurons

Neurons located in the spinal cord or brainstem that innervate skeletal muscles, responsible for movement and muscle tone.
