tactile receptors
which receptors detect itch and tickle?
lamellated corpuscles
ruffini end organs
free nerve endings
muscle spindles

Explanation:

Free nerve endings are unencapsulated, and they respond to pain, itch, tickle, and temperature. Lamellated corpuscles (Pacinian corpuscles) detect deep pressure. Ruffini end organs detect skin stretch. Muscle spindles are involved in proprioception related to muscle length.

Answer:

Free nerve endings
