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

Which does not belong reticular layer kertain dermal papillae meissners corpuscles?
Meissner's corpuscles
Which of these does not belong meissners corpuseles pacinian corpuscles merkerl cells ariector pili?
Arrector Pili - because it does not have sensory detection.
What skin receptors detect pressure?
The Merkel's disks are the receptors for pressure.
What is the function of Meissners Corpuscles?
This is a sense organ located on the finger tips and other parts of the skin in hairless areas. It is a group of cells that form an oval and are attached to a sensory nerve.
Does the nerve cell give us sensitivity?
In part, yes. The nerve cell is what ensures the message of an external or internal stimulus gets to the brain so we are consiously aware of that stimulus. However, in order for a nerve cell to get the message, it must receive an input from a receptor. As such, the receptors at the end of a nerve cell are the most directly responsible for our sensitivity. Some examples of the receptors are: - nociceptors - mechanoreceptors (meissners corpuscles, etc.) - prorioreceptors (muscle spindles) - chemoreceptors (taste buds)
Why are meissner corpuscles not found in hairy skin?
Because the hair folicule ending can detect hair movement and therefore pressure, so the meissner corpuscles are not needed.
What sensory receptors are found in the epidermis and detect light pressure and vibration?
Meissner's corpuscles
What is the function of the cold receptor?
to detect stimulus
Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?
Sound
What are two types of receptors in skin that detect fine touch?
Meissner's corpuscles and Merkel discs
Which mechanoreceptors detect deep pressure?
Pacinian corpuscle is sensitive to deep pressure.
What is stimulus with examples?
A stimulus is a DETECTECTABLE change in the environment. e.g. light is a stimulus to an animal or plant if it can detect the light with a sensing eye or chemical
