Difference between Free nerve ending and Sensory neuron

Free nerve ending vs. Sensory neuron

A free nerve ending (FNE) or bare nerve ending, is an unspecialized, afferent nerve fiber ending of a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons also known as afferent neurons are neurons that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials.

Similarities between Free nerve ending and Sensory neuron

Free nerve ending and Sensory neuron have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Afferent nerve fiber, Cutaneous receptor, Free nerve ending, Mechanoreceptor, Nociception, Nociceptor, Stimulus modality, Thermoreceptor.

Afferent nerve fiber

Afferent nerve fibers refer to axonal projections that arrive at a particular region; as opposed to efferent projections that exit the region.

Cutaneous receptor

The cutaneous receptors are the types of sensory receptor found in the dermis or epidermis.

Mechanoreceptor

A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion.

Nociception

Nociception (also nocioception or nociperception, from Latin nocere 'to harm or hurt') is the sensory nervous system's response to certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli.

Nociceptor

A nociceptor is a sensory neuron that responds to damaging or potentially damaging stimuli by sending “possible threat” signals to the spinal cord and the brain.

Stimulus modality

Stimulus modality, also called sensory modality, is one aspect of a stimulus or what we perceive after a stimulus.

Thermoreceptor

A thermoreceptor is a non-specialised sense receptor, or more accurately the receptive portion of a sensory neuron, that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range.
