Throughout the ligament, oxytalan fibres were contiguous to myelinated nerves, unmyelinated exposed axons and free nerve endings. In the cervical and apical regions, accumulations of vessel-related simple and complex mechanoreceptor units were associated with collagen fibrils and fibres of the oxytalan system. The various receptors and nerve endings penetrated to the abluminal surface of the endothelial wall in the different categories of vessels constituting the microvascular bed. Periodontal receptors with oxytalan fibres were also present in the septal wall of dividing vessels and related to endothelial protrusions into the lumen of microvessels. Similarities existed between periodontal mechanoreceptors and baroreceptors. Anatomically, the oxytalan-fibre meshwork provided coupling between the various mechanoreceptor units in the microvascular bed. This periodontal model has morphological characteristics which support the hypothesis that the oxytalan-fibre meshwork forms part of a proprioceptor system for the regulation of vascular flow.
在整个韧带中，耐酸纤维与有髓神经、无髓裸露轴突和游离神经末梢相邻。在颈部和根尖区域，与血管相关的简单和复杂机械感受器单元的聚集与耐酸系统的胶原纤维和纤维有关。在构成微血管床的不同类型血管中，各种感受器和神经末梢穿透到内皮壁的无腔表面。在分支血管的间隔壁中也存在带有耐酸纤维的牙周感受器，并且与微血管腔内的内皮突起有关。牙周机械感受器和压力感受器之间存在相似之处。在解剖学上，耐酸纤维网络为微血管床中的各种机械感受器单元提供了耦合。这个牙周模型具有形态学特征，支持了耐酸纤维网络构成调节血管流量的本体感受器系统一部分的假说。
