receptive fields
It shows relative nerve density within the parameters of the central nervous system's lateral suppression. Lack of two-point sensitivity most likely reflects damage to the central nervous system, especially so when the one-point threshold is not affected.
What else can I help you with?
The two-point touch threshold test serves as a demonstration of?

What is absolute threshold?
Absolute threshold is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch
What is the Rapid Threshold Procedure in monofilament testing?
When using monofilaments to determine nerve health, the Rapid Threshold Procedure is a method promoted by Connecticut Bioinstruments to quickly find a threshold. It relies on the proper calibration of the monofilaments, including the inability to confound pain and touch sensations.
What will the The two-point threshold do as the concentration of touch receptors Meissner's corpuscles increases and the skin area becomes more sensitive?
As the concentration of touch receptors Meissner's corpuscles increases and the skin area becomes more sensitive, the two-point threshold will decrease. This means that the ability to distinguish two separate points of contact will improve, making the skin more sensitive to tactile stimuli.
Where on the body would you guess that two point discrimination threshold would be the highest?
lips.... has highest threshold for 2 point discrimination
Why you see insect on your skin but idont feelit?
Many bugs have an impact (in the technical sense) below the threshold of your pressure or touch receptors.
Who was the original singer of sometimes when you touch?
If memory serves me right I think it is Donna Summers.
What political party was tagged with being out of touch with the middle class in the 2008 presidential elections?
The Republican party. It is always out of touch with the middle class. The party only serves and benefits the upper class.
What part of the body might have the smallest simultaneous spatial threshold?
The part of the body with the smallest simultaneous spatial threshold is typically the fingertips. This area has a high density of sensory receptors, particularly mechanoreceptors, which allows for acute sensitivity to touch and fine discrimination of spatial details. The proximity of these receptors enables the fingertips to detect small changes in texture and pressure with great precision.
Can you touch a ball python too much?
Yes. Excessive handling can cause a snake to stress out, which can cause food to be regurgitated and a lower immune system threshold. One to two times a week of handling is alright.
What is the longest outer organ?
The skin is the body's longest outer organ. It serves as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and allows for the sensation of touch.
Where on the body would you expect the error of localization and the two-point discrimination threshold to be lowest?
The error of localization and two-point discrimination threshold are expected to be lowest on body parts with a high density of sensory receptors, such as the fingertips and lips. These areas have a high resolution of touch sensation due to the close spacing of tactile receptors, allowing for more accurate localization and discrimination of sensory stimuli.
