“…Without The prepuce is primary, erogenous tissue necessary for normal sexual function [8]. The complex interaction the distal nerve, this frustrated attempt at re-innervation results in a bulbous, disordered tangle of axons, between the protopathic sensitivity of the corpuscular receptor-deficient glans penis [42] and the corpuscular Schwann cells and fibrous tissue. Histology of the male circumcision scar shows amputation neuromas, receptor-rich ridged band of the male prepuce [45] is required for normal copulatory behaviour.…”

“…A multitude of names have been used to describe these encapsulated receptors, e.g. Krause, Dogiel, genital corpuscles, Endkalpsen and mucocutaneous end-organs [42], but the term corpuscular (encapsulated) receptors will be used here to include all of these mechanoreceptors. Most of the encapsulated receptors of the prepuce are Meissner corpuscles, as they contact the epithelial basement membrane.…”

“…The density of organized sensory receptors in the oral mucosa is shown to vary with the stage of development of the papillae, and to be high in the mucosal region where the formation of papillae is remarkable (Gairns 1955;Yamamoto et al 1958; Ashino et al 1960;Seto 1972). In the lip mucosa, the number of organized receptors, both the encapsulated corpuscles and the branched terminations, has been reported to increase toward the muco-cutaneous junction, in proportion to the increase in number and size of the papillae (Winkelmann 1957;Yamamoto et al 1958;Ashino et al 1960;Seto 1972). The present investigation revealed that the bush-like nerve endings were situated in the lamina propria close to the epithelium (Fig.…”

“…Some early light microscopic investigations in the oral mucosa (Gairns and Aitchison 1950;Abe 1954;Gairns 1955;Winkelmann 1957Winkelmann , 1962Yamamoto et al 1958; Ashino et al 1960;Dixon 1962Dixon , 1963Taylor et al 1964;Seto 1972) have been focused on the quantity and distribution of sensory receptors, and concluded that the density of sensory receptors is higher in the anterior part of the mouth, such as the transitional zone of the lip, the incisor region gingiva, the tip of the tongue and the anterior hard palate. However, the distribution pattern of the receptors and the definite values of their density were revealed only in the human gingiva (Desj ardins et al 1971), the buccal mucosa of white pig (FitzGerald 1962), the gingival and alveolar mucosa of the cat (Sakada 1980) and the labial mucosa of the mouse Sakada 1981, 1983a).…”

The sensory innervation of the rat labial mucosa was investigated by means of methylene blue vital staining and osmic acid staining. Sensory receptors in this region were of three kinds (free nerve endings, encapsulated corpuscles and bush-like nerve endings) which constituted separate sensory units respectively. The encapsulated corpuscles were observed in the deep part of lamina propria, and distributed mainly in the margin of labial mucosa. Almost all (78.8%) of encapsulated corpuscles were of a simple type which had a nonbranched axon terminal. No clew-like type corpuscles or glomerular-Meissner corpuscles were observed. The bush-like nerve endings were located in the lamina propria close to the epithelium, and localized in the central part of labial mucosa where the formation of papillae was remarkable. The density of the encapsulated corpuscles in the entire mucosa was 3.5-5.3/mm2, and that of the bush-like nerve endings in the densely distributed area was 38.9-60.6/mm26 sensory innervation ; sensory unit ; sensory receptors ; lip mucosa ; rat As Grossman and Hattis (1967) have reviewed, the regional variations in the sensitivity of oral mucosa, such as the touch or pressure threshold and the two-point discrimination, are well correlated with those in the density of somatosensory receptors.

“…The skin can be categorized into three main types: glabrous (non-hairy sections of the human body), non-glabrous (hairy sections of the human body), and mucocutaneous (regions in the skin containing junctions at which mucous membranes transition to the skin) [69,70]. The glabrous skin contains all four types of mechanoreceptors (SA I, SA II, FA I, and FA II), while the hairy skin contains all except FA I (i.e., SA I, SA II, and FA II), instead containing fast-conducting myelinated Aβ fibers and slow-conducting unmyelinated C-tactile fibers [69,71,72,73].…”

Hand-Feel Touch Cues and Their Influences on Consumer Perception and Behavior with Respect to Food Products: A Review

There has been a great deal of research investigating intrinsic/extrinsic cues and their influences on consumer perception and purchasing decisions at points of sale, product usage, and consumption. Consumers create expectations toward a food product through sensory information extracted from its surface (intrinsic cues) or packaging (extrinsic cues) at retail stores. Packaging is one of the important extrinsic cues that can modulate consumer perception, liking, and decision making of a product. For example, handling a product packaging during consumption, even just touching the packaging while opening or holding it during consumption, may result in a consumer expectation of the package content. Although hand-feel touch cues are an integral part of the food consumption experience, as can be observed in such an instance, little has been known about their influences on consumer perception, acceptability, and purchase behavior of food products. This review therefore provided a better understanding about hand-feel touch cues and their influences in the context of food and beverage experience with a focus on (1) an overview of touch as a sensory modality, (2) factors influencing hand-feel perception, (3) influences of hand-feel touch cues on the perception of other sensory modalities, and (4) the effects of hand-feel touch cues on emotional responses and purchase behavior.
