Question 10 / 59:  Which are true about somatic sensation: (circle all that apply) (3 points)
A  DRG neurons innervating Pacinian corpuscles and encoding vibration make synapses on dorsal
horn neurons of the ascending anterolateral system.
B  The receptive fields of dorsal root ganglion cells are shaped by inhibitory feedback from the
thalamus
C  TRPV1 channels are activated by high temperatures, capsaicin and low pH
D  Dorsal root ganglia contain the sensory neurons innervating Meissner corpuscles and Merkel
cells, joint and tendon organs, and muscle spindles, but not the nociceptive (C-fiber) neurons
with free nerve endings in the skin.
E  Skin near whiskers has many more Meissner corpuscles per cm2 than the skin of the upper arm.
