Neck point involved in transmission of feeling (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nerve end

'involved in transmission of feeling' is the definition.
(nerve endings transmit feeling)

'neck point' is the wordplay.
'neck' becomes 'nerve' (both can mean attitude or insolence).
'point' becomes 'end point' (end point is a kind of point).
'nerve'+'end'='NERVE-END'

(Another definition for nerve end that I've seen is " Extremity of sensation-transmitting fibre".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
