sensibility /sen·si·bil·i·ty/ (sen″sĭ-bil´ĭ-te) susceptibility of feeling; ability to feel or perceive.
sensibility [sen″sĭ-bil´ĭ-te]
deep sensibility sensibility to stimuli such as pain, pressure, and movement that activate receptors below the body surface but not in the viscera.
epicritic sensibility the sensibility of the skin to gentle stimulations permitting fine discriminations of touch and temperature.
proprioceptive sensibility proprioception.
protopathic sensibility sensibility to pain and temperature which is low in degree and poorly localized.
splanchnesthetic sensibility visceral sense.
splanch·nes·thet·ic sensibility (spl ngk n s-th t k)n. See visceral sense. |
sensibility [sen″sĭ-bil´ĭ-te]
susceptibility of feeling; ability to feel or perceive.
deep sensibility the sensibility of deep tissue (such as muscles or tendons) to pressure, pain, and movement.
epicritic sensibility the sensibility to gentle stimulations permitting fine discriminations of touch and temperature, localized in the skin.
proprioceptive sensibility the sensibility afforded by receptors in muscles, joints, and other parts, by which one is made aware of their position and state.
protopathic sensibility the sensibility to strong stimulations of pain and temperature; it is low in degree and poorly localized, existing in the skin and in the viscera, and acting as a defensive agency against pathologic changes in the tissues.
somesthetic sensibility proprioceptive sensibility.
splanchnesthetic sensibility the sensibility to stimuli received by splanchnic receptors.
