Characteristics of knee joint receptors in the cat

1. The conduction velocities of 278 posterior articular nerve fibres studied in dorsal root filaments ranged from 10 to 110 m/sec. The conduction velocities were distributed similarly to posterior articular nerve fibre diameters determined histologically.
