## Abstract The longitudinal lanceolate endings are mechanoreceptors that detect hair movement. We have previously shown that terminal Schwann cells, glial elements of the sensory devices, respond to an application of the sensory modulator adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) by an elevation in the intr
