How do pressure receptors in the skin contribute to our sense of touch?

Pressure receptors in the skin, known as mechanoreceptors, detect mechanical stimuli like touch, pressure, and vibration. These receptors send signals to the brain, which processes the information and allows us to perceive and interpret sensations of touch. In this way, pressure receptors play a crucial role in our sense of touch by helping us to feel and respond to our environment.
