✦ Synopsis

fast-conducting myelinated afferent neurons that convey signals to the brain from low-threshold mechanoreceptors in body areas that actively contact objects -that is, the inside of the hand, the sole of the foot, the lips, the tongue and the oral mucosa.
Proprioceptive afferents
fast-conducting myelinated afferents that provide information about joint configurations and muscle states. These include mechanoreceptive afferents from the hairy skin, muscles, joints and connective tissues.
