Nerve endings

Nerve endings are the terminals of the nerves in the outer boby. While there are some free nerve endings, many terminate with a peripheral structure, a end organ. These neural receptors include:


 * Baroreceptors
 * Chemoreceptors
 * Mechanoreceptors
 * {[Nocioceptors]]
 * Photoreceptors
 * Proprioceptors
 * Thermoreceptors

The term may also mistakenly include the synapses where neurons terminate in other neurons.
