Figure 5
The distant effects of different intensities of electroacupuncture (EA) in activating cutaneous superficial mechanoreceptors (a), deep pressure-detected receptors (b), and muscle stretch receptors (c) located in rabbit triceps surae muscle areas of Bladder Meridian Foot Taiyang. Percent of the number of the activated receptors in each defined area surrounding needle point was calculated from the total number of the activated receptors. The plots were produced based on the data reported in [60, 61].
