Result in the flow of current from the receptive zone to produce APs in the same cell

Cause cyclic depolarization and hyperpolarization of the membrane potential

Involve the action of proteins pulling on membrane ion channels to open them

Involve amplification enzyme cascades

Result in the release of transmitter to receptor cells

Found only in glabrous skin 

Found superficially in the skin

Rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors

Found deep in the skin

Slowly adapting mechanoreceptors

negative

positive

it's impossible to say

zero

They all have small receptive fields

They are all endings of Aβ nerve fibres

They have the same type of connective tissue encapsulation

They all adapt rapidly

They are all located superficially in the skin

Pain and hot temperature

Proprioception and fine touch

Pain and affective touch and cold temperature

Pain and cold temperature

Proprioception and crude and fine touch

The second fastest conducting nerve fibres

Originating from the skin surface itself

Classed as A-delta neurons

Terminating in the cuneate nucleus

Originating from deep visceral structures

Lose the ability to signal the form of a tactile stimulus

Lose the ability to signal stimulus motion and orientation

Lose the ability to signal stimulus orientation

Are able to preserve the signalling of affective mechanoreception that signals emotion

Are able to preserve the signalling of fine mechanoreception that signals the form of a tactile stimulus
