词条 | Tactile pad |
释义 |
A tactile pad is an area of skin that is particularly sensitive to pressure, temperature, or pain. Tactile pads are characterized by high concentrations of free nerve endings.[1] In primates, the last phalanges in the fingers and toes have tactile pads, allowing very accurate manipulation of objects. This precision grip was an important evolutionary advance in primates.[2] References1. ^{{Cite web| url=http://anthro.palomar.edu/primate/glossary.htm#tactile_pad | title=The Primates: Glossary of Terms | author=O'Neil, D. | date=2007-06-08 | accessdate=2008-06-03}} {{Anatomy-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web| url=http://members.aol.com/nonverbal2/precise.htm | title= Precision grip | author=Givens, D.
