External receptors that respond to stimuli from outside the body are called extoreceptors. An NGF–TrkA-mediated retrograde signal to transcription factor CREB in sympathetic neurons. [14], Specialized sensory receptor cells called mechanoreceptors often encapsulate afferent fibers to help tune the afferent fibers to the different types of somatic stimulation.

[20][21] They are found in internal organs as well as on the surface of the body to "detect and protect". Specialized cutaneous Schwann cells initiate pain sensation. To operate the mandible muscles, the ends of the sensory neurons lead to the thick dendritic trunks of the four motor neurons.
