sensory receptor
What kind os sensory information does the skin take in?

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
What are specialized nerve endings that respond to temperature and touch?
These are sensory receptors. They are classified according to their function. The one for touch is Mechanoreceptor and other for teperature is thermoreceptor.
The cutaneous senses consist of sensory receptors that provide information about?
Touch, temperature and pain.
What type of stimulus detected by touch receptor?
The criteria used to classify sensory receptors depends on the type of nerve signals associated with the sensory receptors. Olfactory receptors read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding smell, tastebuds read chemical signals and associate them with a corresponding taste ect..
Where are the cutaneous receptors for pain located?
The Epidermis. The epidermis contains Merkel cells which are sensory receptors that let you feel touch/pain
