The Merkel's disks are the receptors for pressure.
Meissner's corpuscles
Meissner's corpuscles
The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
1 pain 2 pressure 3 temperature
The receptors in the body that detect pressure are known as baroreceptors.
they detect the feelings of pain cold and so on
sensory receptors detect changes(light levels, pressure on skin) in our surroundings. they convert one form of energy into another particular form of energy.
These receptors are called nociceptors.
