Naso-labial cutaneous receptors of the hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus)

The naso-labial region of the hedgehog is divided into aboral region, with several sinus hairs, and oral region, completely glabrous. The cutaneous surface of the latter shows deep furrows that define polygonal areolas varying in size. Each areola is characterized by a particular sensory complex, fo...

Summary:The naso-labial region of the hedgehog is divided into aboral region, with several sinus hairs, and oral region, completely glabrous. The cutaneous surface of the latter shows deep furrows that define polygonal areolas varying in size. Each areola is characterized by a particular sensory complex, formed by free nerve endings and Merkel cells in the epidermis and by Pacinian-like corpuscles in the dermis La regione naso-labiale del riccio puo' essere suddivisa in una parte aborale, ricca di peli tattili, ed in una parte orale, completamente glabra. Quest'ultima presenta sulla superficie cutanea profondi solchi che delimitano areole poligonali di ampiezza differente. Ogni areola accoglie un complesso recettoriale caratteristico costituito da terminazioni nervose libere e terminazioni nervose tipo Merkel, nell'epidermide, e corpuscoli paciniformi, nel derma sottostante
