- Numbness and Tingling - Overview - "Tingling is an indication of damage or irritation to the nerves in that area. Unlike numbness, tingling suggests the nerve is not completely dead or severed, just injured or experiencing pressure."

- The Pacinian Corpuscle - "Pacinian corpuscles are present in the skin, some mucous membranes etc. They are mechanoceptors, responding to pressure, or any kind of mechanical stimulus causing a deformation of the corpuscle."
