This scientist discovered tension receptors in the tendons now known as his "organs" or "tendon spindles".
This scientist discovered tension receptors in the tendons now known as his "organs" or "tendon spindles". From his studies of different parts of the brain he put forward his theory that there are two types of nerve cells, sensory and motor, and that axons are concerned with the transmission of nerve impulses. His most important work resulted from his technique using silver salts to stain cells, allowing him to produce the first detailed description of the structure of the nervous system, work which was followed up by Santiago Ramon y Cajal, with whom he would share the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. FTP, who was this Italian biologist who first described a series of flattened membranous cavities in the cytoplasm of cells known as his "apparatus"?
