Physiology

Stretch receptor

A small mechanosensory stretch receptor shown as a pale yellow to yellow-gold afferent nerve fiber dividing into several delicate branching terminals with fine thread-like processes and tiny rounded bulb-like ending knobs. The compact terminal arborization is embedded against or within a gently curved pink tissue surface or smooth muscle/vessel wall segment, suggesting activation by tissue stretch. The overall structure is simple, oval to compact in appearance, with fine sensory tips closely associated with the curved tissue.
