Question
____ are sensory receptors responsible for the sensation of deep pressure.
corpuscles of touch
lamellated corpuscles
root hair plexuses
organs of ruffini
bulbs of krause
free nerve endings
Lamellated corpuscles, also known as Pacinian corpuscles, are specialized sensory receptors. They are highly sensitive to deep - pressure stimuli. Corpuscles of touch (Meissner's corpuscles) are more sensitive to light touch and low - frequency vibration. Root hair plexuses detect hair movement. Organs of Ruffini respond to skin stretch. Bulbs of Krause may be involved in cold sensation (though their function is not fully understood in humans). Free nerve endings are involved in pain, temperature, and crude touch.
