Which mechanoreceptors detect deep pressure?
Pacinian corpuscle is sensitive to deep pressure.
What is the name of the cutaneous receptor that detects deep pressure?
The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.
What layer of skin contains pacinian corpuscles?
The pacinian corpuscle is present in the dermis layer of the skin. Its function is to detect deep pressure and vibration.
What tissue is present in the pacinian corpuscle?
Nervous

What genetic disorder comes from pacinian corpuscles?
sickle cell anemia
What are the names of the sensory receptors found in the dermis?
Sensory receptors in the dermis include: free nerve endings, pacinian corpuscles, and hair follicle receptors The mechanoreceptors of the skin are the meissner's corpuscles (which respond to light touch), the pacinian corpuscles (deeper in the dermis and respond to pressure), and the merkel's disks (closely related to the merkel's cells located in the epidermis and respond to light touch). The nociceptors are pain receptors that recognize hot, cold, and pain.
