feeling a gentle caress on your arm would likely involve all of the following except ______.

○ hair follicle receptors
○ tactile corpuscles
○ meissners corpuscles
○ lamellar corpuscles

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Hair follicle receptors detect light touch/movement of hair, so involved in a caress.
• Tactile corpuscles (same as Meissner’s corpuscles) detect light touch, so involved.
• Meissner’s corpuscles are for light touch, so involved.
• Lamellar (Pacinian) corpuscles detect deep pressure/vibration, not gentle caress (light touch). So Lamellar corpuscles are the exception.

Answer:

D. Lamellar corpuscles
