____ are sensory receptors responsible for detecting movement on the hair follicles.
○ corpuscles of touch
○ lamellated corpuscles
○ root hair plexuses
○ organs of ruffini
○ bulbs of krause
○ free nerve endings
Root hair plexuses are sensory receptors that wrap around hair follicles and detect movement of the hair. Corpuscles of touch (Meissner's corpuscles) detect light touch and low - frequency vibration. Lamellated corpuscles (Pacinian corpuscles) detect deep pressure and high - frequency vibration. Organs of Ruffini detect skin stretch. Bulbs of Krause are thought to be cold receptors. Free nerve endings detect pain, temperature, and crude touch.
