Structure and physiology of the patella-tibia joint receptors in scorpion pedipalps

An electrophysiological survey of joint receptors in the walking legs of the scorpion,Paruroctonus mesaensis

“…The unit was quiescent at joint positions either more or less flexed from this setting. Proprioceptive elements exhibiting similar discharge characteristics have been previously noted in scorpion (Bowerman and Larimer, 1973). Phasic units, some flexion-sensitive and others extension-sensitive, were also present.…”

“…Of the units analyzed by this method, the phasic units were unidirectionally sensitive. This is also the case for scorpion pedipalp proprioceptors (Bowerman and Larimer, 1973) and scorpion postabdominal MROs (Bowerman, 1972a).…”

Armed stem to stinger: a review of the ecological roles of scorpion weapons

“…This muscle is composed of long fibered bundles which are mechanically connected to the movable finger by a long ligament [ 90 ]. In the patella, muscles that adduct and abduct the chela in the frontal plane are also present [ 95 ].…”
