They are pressure receptors so respond to their stimuli-pressure :) hope this helps

∙ 13y agobasically, they are light touch receptors in the skin, which are prone to touch sensitivity. They are hairless areas which have flattened cells and encapsulated nerve endings, such as fingertips, soles of feet, palms, eyelids, nipples, and the tip if the tongue.

What receptors for deep pressure in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue control?
Lamellated Corpuscles They are phasic receptors for deep pressure, stretch, tickle, and vibration. They are found in the periosteum of bone, joint capsules, pancreas and other viscera, and deep in the dermis
What do pacinian corpuscles detect?
They are mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, and are found in the skin and also in joints and tendons. Naked nerve endings lie in the centre of the corpuscle surrounded by concentric layers of connective tissue separated by viscous gel (looks a little bit like an onion!).Mechanical stimuli are converted into electrical impulses as follows:Transduction occurs - the production of a small receptor potential of about 1mV across the receptor membrane when pressure is applied.The receptor potential is produced by deformation of the receptor membrane, which interferes with ion channels embedded in the membrane and causes leaks, allowing an influx of sodium ions.A generator potential is produced and an impulse is generated at the first node of ranvier. Electrical impulses are transmitted along the neurone.The presence of gel-filled lamellae in the Pacinian corpuscles provides a mechanical filter of the stimulus. If pressure is applied rapidly the membrane of the corpuscle is deformed for a few milliseconds until the gel flows and the membrane resumes its normal shape. If pressure is applied slowly the gel flows away from the stimulus so the membrane is not deformed, and no receptor potential is generated. The greater the pressure applied to the corpuscle, the greater the receptor potential. Once the pressure reaches a critical size (te threshold) an action potential is triggered.
Which mechanoreceptors detect deep pressure?
Pacinian corpuscle is sensitive to deep pressure.
What layer of skin contains pacinian corpuscles?
The pacinian corpuscle is present in the dermis layer of the skin. Its function is to detect deep pressure and vibration.
What is the name of the cutaneous receptor that detects deep pressure?
The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.
What tissue is present in the pacinian corpuscle?
Nervous
Deep pressure receptor skin structure?
pacinian corpuscle
What sensation is associated with activation of the lamellated corpuscle in the skin?
Pressure is the sensation associated with activation of the lamellated corpuscle in the skin. The laminated corpuscle is also referred to as the Pacinian corpuscle.
What are the onion-shaped receptors that respond to deep pressure?
pacinian corpuscle
What is the structure for deep cutaneous pressure called?
pacinian corpuscle,,,present in hypodermis or deep in the dermis
What passive channels are likely found in the Pacinian corpuscle?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
What is a pacinian corpuscle?
Used in detecting pressure in fingertips, palms, soles of the feet, and other hairless skin regions.
What is a tactile receptor that is composed of dendritic processes that lie within a series of concentric connective tissue layers?
Pacinian corpuscle
What term doesnt belong meissner's corpuscles pacinian corpuscles merkel cells arrector pili?
Whilst all of these things are within the dermis of the skin, the arrector pili is the odd thing out. The arrector pili is a muscle where as the rest (meissner, pacinian and merkel) are nerve endings. The result of contraction of arrector pili is the standing up of a hair. The meissner corpuscle is a sensory nerve ending that is specific for fine touch, as are merkel cells [light touch]. The pacinian corpuscle is a nerve ending specific for sensation of deep pressure and vibration.
