bulbous corpuscles
muscle spindles
hair receptors
lamellar corpuscles
tactile discs
free nerve endings
tactile corpuscles

Explanation:

1. Lamellar corpuscles are sensitive to deep - pressure, stretch, tickle, and vibration.
2. Hair receptors detect light touch and movement of hairs.
3. Tactile discs are for light touch and texture.
4. Free nerve endings include warm and cold receptors and nociceptors.
5. Tactile corpuscles sense light touch and pressure.

Answer:

1. Lamellar corpuscles
2. Hair receptors
