  • Title: On the presence and probable functional role of the nervous terminations located within the retractor penis muscle of some mammals.
    Author: Palmieri G, Panu R, Asole A, Sanna L, Farina V.
    Journal: Arch Anat Histol Embryol; 1983; 66():181-90. PubMed ID: 6364976.
    Abstract:
    The authors have studied the vegetative and sensitive somatic innervation of the retractor penis muscle in some domestic animals. This last component is constituted by encapsulated receptors classified as Pacini, Pacini-like, Golgi-Mazzoni's corpuscles and Krause's end bulbs (genital corpuscles). They have also emphasized the structural characteristics of the various types of nervous endings and their remarkable variability in the investigated animals. Finally, they have examined the probable functional role of these mechanicoreceptors.
