The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.
Pacinian corpuscles are mechanoreceptors found in the skin that are sensitive to mechanical pressure and vibration. They are responsible for detecting sensations such as deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.

Whilst all of these things are within the dermis of the skin, the arrector pili is the odd thing out. The arrector pili is a muscle where as the rest (meissner, pacinian and merkel) are nerve endings. The result of contraction of arrector pili is the standing up of a hair. The meissner corpuscle is a sensory nerve ending that is specific for fine touch, as are merkel cells [light touch]. The pacinian corpuscle is a nerve ending specific for sensation of deep pressure and vibration.
Pacinian corpuscles are onion-shaped receptors that respond to deep pressure. They are found in the skin and are sensitive to mechanical stimuli. When pressure is applied to the skin, these receptors generate nerve impulses that travel to the brain, allowing us to perceive the sensation of deep pressure.

The pacinian corpuscle is present in the dermis layer of the skin. Its function is to detect deep pressure and vibration.

Yes, pacinian corpuscles are primarily mechanoreceptors responsible for detecting deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations in the skin and joints. Therefore, they are classified as exteroceptors.
Pacinian corpuscles are mechanoreceptors found in the skin that are sensitive to mechanical pressure and vibration. They are responsible for detecting sensations such as deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.
Pacinian corpuscles are deep in the skin and respond to deep pressure and vibration, while Meissner corpuscles are located closer to the skin surface and are sensitive to light touch and texture. Pacinian corpuscles have a larger receptive field and adapt quickly to stimuli, whereas Meissner corpuscles have a smaller receptive field and adapt slowly.
