Index Eimer's organ

Eimer's organs are sensory organs in which the epidermis is modified to form bulbous papillae. [1]

Connective tissue

Connective tissue (CT) is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

Dermis

The dermis or corium is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, that primarily consists of dense irregular connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain.

Epidermis

The epidermis is the outer layer of the three layers that make up the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.

European mole

The European mole (Talpa europaea) is a mammal of the order Eulipotyphla.

Keratin

Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins.

Lamellar corpuscle

Lamellar corpuscles, or Pacinian corpuscles, are one of the four major types of mechanoreceptor cell in glabrous (hairless) mammalian skin.

Merkel cell

Merkel cells, also known as Merkel-Ranvier cells or tactile epithelial cells, are oval-shaped mechanoreceptors essential for light touch sensation and found in the skin of vertebrates.

Microscopic scale

The microscopic scale (from, mikrós, "small" and σκοπέω, skopéō "look") is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly.

Mole (animal)

Moles are small mammals adapted to a subterranean lifestyle (i.e., fossorial).

Myelin

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer.

Natural History (magazine)

Natural History is a natural history magazine published in the United States.

Nerve

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system.

Neurite

A neurite or neuronal process refers to any projection from the cell body of a neuron.

Palpation

Palpation is the process of using one's hands to check the body, especially while perceiving/diagnosing a disease or illness.

Seismic wave

Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic energy.

Sensory nervous system

The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information.

Star-nosed mole

The star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is a small mole found in wet low areas in the northern parts of North America.

The Journal of Comparative Neurology

The Journal of Comparative Neurology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on neuroscience and related fields, but specifically does not deal with clinical aspects of them.

Theodor Eimer

Gustav Heinrich Theodor Eimer (22 February 1843 – 29 May 1898) was a German zoologist.
