Nerve endings are the terminals of the nerves in the outer boby. While there are some free nerve endings, many terminate with a peripheral structure, a end organ. These neural receptors include:

• Baroreceptors
• Chemoreceptors
• Mechanoreceptors
• Nocioceptors
• Photoreceptors
• Proprioceptors
• Thermoreceptors

The term may also mistakenly include the synapses where neurons terminate in other neurons.
