They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.
What are the names of the sensory receptors in the skin?
nerve endings
What skin receptors detect pressure?
The Merkel's disks are the receptors for pressure.
What kind os sensory information does the skin take in?
