Merkell cells - 
 ~~> - slowly adapting 
 - 25% of mechanosensory afferents in hand 
 - highest spatial resolution 
 - edges, points, corners, curvature 
 - static indentation ** 
Meissener -

 -40% of mechanosensory innervation in hand 
 - skin motion, indentation, low frequency vibrations for textured 
objects*** 
 - more than 4x more sensitive than Merkell to skin deformation, but 
larger receptive fields so less spatial resolution

DCML - 1) mechanosensory receptors send info to fibers in gracile & cuneate pathways 
2) fibers travel to caudal medulla, synapse at dorsal column nucleus (and switch sides) 
3) exit DCN as arcuate fibers, cross the midline to form medial lemniscus carries through pons, midbrain, 
brainstem 
4) synapse at thalamus (VPL) 
5) internal capsule takes axons to post-central gyrus/S1, some to S2.

Higher pitch = - ️️higher frequency - but perception depends on the environment 
Wavelength - ️️the distance b/w two peaks/an up-down cycle 
Middle ear - ️️everything inside the tympanic membrane and before the oval 
window 
LSO - ️️- monitors intensity differences for high-frequency sound 
- head blocks frequencies that have wavelengths smaller than the head - produces a 
sound shadow (in humans - higher than 2kHz) 
- the ipsilateral LSO starts firing more when there is a sound ...

RAPID-adapting mechanoreceptors - ️️Meissner and Pacinian 
(dynamic phase QUICKLY becomes static phase) 
dorsal root ganglion (DRG) - ️️(part of the PNS) cluster of cell bodies in the dorsal 
root of a spinal nerve (when the action potential reaches the DRG, it splits into 2 - one 
travels toward the cell body and the other continues down the axon)
