Talk:Bulbous corpuscle

This article makes no sense - how can something be a mechanoreceptor AND the respond to heat!!!

No idea, hopefully someone can look up the source and confirm or deny it, and also figure out how that sentence is supposed to parse.


 * I agree, I'm thinking that is incorrect or simply written with a different meaning than is communicated. I do not think the brain could discriminate the meanings of two different sensations from the same nerve receptor.  Bloomingdedalus (talk) 11:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Id also like to add that that these receptors are not only found in skin, but many other tissue types, namely joint capsules and ligaments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.163.65.164 (talk) 20:39, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

And in case anyone cares to note a pop culture reference, roughly 14:30 into the 23rd episode from the 3rd season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine the Ruffini corpuscle is mentioned in passing as the punchline to a joke. 108.41.199.73 (talk) 22:36, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
