use the diagram above to answer the following questions.
which letter indicates a tactile corpuscle (meissners corpuscle) that is responsive to light pressure?
a
b
c
d
e

Explanation:

Meissner's corpuscles (tactile corpuscles) are located in the dermal papillae of the skin, near the epidermis, and are responsive to light pressure. In the diagram, label B corresponds to this structure (Meissner's corpuscle). Other labels: A might be a different receptor, C could be a free nerve ending or other, D and E are deeper structures (like Pacinian or Ruffini, or other components). So the correct label is B.

Answer:

B
