What are mechanorecepters?
Mechanoreceptors are part of the nervous system that detect changes in movement or pressure. They are a cutaneous receptor found in the dermis or epidermis. They involve special tiny organs. These include cutaneous mechanoreceptors (for light touch), Ruffini's end organ (sustained pressure), Meissner's corpuscle (changes in texture, slow vibrations), Pacinian corpuscle (deep pressure, fast vibrations) and Merkel's disc (sustained touch and pressure).
