These consist of rounded, or elongated, connective tissue capsules, within which the nerve fibers terminate.
On the inside the fibers lose their sheaths and divide into branches, which wind through the capsule. End-bulbs are abundant in the lining membrane of the eye, and are found also in the skin of the lips and in the tissues around the joints.

In the papillæ of the red border of the lips the nerves end in capsules which enclose one or more fibers, and are called end-bulbs.
