∙ 7y ago
There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS.
They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.

What are two types of receptors in skin that detect fine touch?
Meissner's corpuscles and Merkel discs
Why do the face and finger tips have the most sensory receptors?
The sense of touch is important because it allows one to avoid damaging their skin by contact with noxious stimuli (like heat, or acid for e.g.). So evolutionarily 'touch' would have played a big role in the way humans learned to interact with their environments. Touch is of course important for other things too like braille reading for the blind, fine motor control of the digits (fingers), and sensual pleasure just to name a few.so that we could have a sense of feeling touch and pressure .
What is the texture for siltstone rock?
Siltstone is gritty to the touch. It has the texture of a very fine-grained sandpaper
Describe the neural pathway beginning with the sensory receptors and ending with the cortex?
There are multiple pathways by which information from sensory receptors reaches the cerebral cortex. These pathways vary based on the type of information carried. For example, information from the body about pain and temperature travels via a pathway called the anterolateral system; information from the body about conscious body position sense and fine touch travels through the dorsal column-medial lemniscus system. Unconscious sensation of body position has its own pathways. The face has a separate set of pathways that mirror those for the rest of the body.
What are different types of shorelines and their characteristics?
There are many different types of shorelines. Some examples are fine-grained sand beaches, riprap structures or sheltered man-made structures. Fine-grained sand beaches are beaches with fine sand, riprap structures are rocky shorelines and man-made structures are structures like docks, built by men.

What is the function of the fasciculus cuneatus?
The fasciculus cuneatus is a bunch of nerves that are located in the spinal cord. Its function is to detect fine touch, pressure and vibration.
What is Crud touch?
(or non-discriminative touch) is a sensory modality which allows the subject to sense that something has touched them, without being able to localise where they were touched (contrasting fine touch). Its fibres are carried in the spinothalamic tract. Unlike the fine touch which is carried in the dorsal columnAs fine touch normally works in parallel to crude touch, a person will be able to localise touch until fibres carrying fine touch (Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway) have been disrupted. Then the subject will feel the touch, but be unable to identify where they were touched.
What is crude touch?
the opposite of fine touch, so it will be a more rough sense of touch. E!
What is a skin sensory receptor for touch?
The short answer is through the use of mechanoreceptors for non painful stimuli. There are four major types most stated (although others do exist) which are all specialised for particular somatosensory stimuli. For example, the Paccinian corpuscle transducts vibrations especially well, Merkel's disks transduct fine touch (e.g. for braille), Meissner's corpuscles transduct light touch and Ruffini's endings transduct deep pressure. In addition to these mechanoreceptors, there are also a number of 'nociceptors' or pain receptors which can transduct 'pain', or extremes of temperature, pressure and chemical stimuli.

When you touch a girls vagina and she says she feels fine is fine good or bad?
Fine just mean fine not good not bad just fine (could be better could be worse) I guess it mean DO BETTER
Does PS vita come with a stylus?
No, you use your fingers. Styluses work fine with pressure sensitive screens like the Nintendo DS. The Vita uses a conductive layer, which detects touch through the moisture in your finger. It won't detect a 'dry' object like a stylus, or even a fingernail.
