What is the function of the sensory organ?
Meissner's corpuscles; pain and touch receptors, Pacinian corpuscles; pressure receptors, hair follicle receptors; light touch receptors, Rufini's corpuscles; respond to deep pressurethat recieve the stimulus
Which are the touch receptors sensitive to heavy pressure?
Merkel cells or Merkel-Ranvier cells = light touch Meissner's or tactile corpuscles = light touch Vater-Pacini corpuscules = vibratory pressure and touch, deep pressure
Where are meissner's corpuscles?
In the skin.
What stimulus do Meissner's corpuscles detect?
They are pressure receptors so respond to their stimuli-pressure :) hope this helps
