Free nerve endings
|
|
|
Merkel endings
|
|
|
Meissner endings
|
|
|
Pacinian endings

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: –Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly-adapting, deep receptors that respond to deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Four major types of encapsulated mechanoreceptors are specialized to provide information to the central nervous system about touch, pressure, vibration, and cutaneous tension: Meissner’s corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, Merkel’s disks, and Ruffini’s corpuscles (Figure 9.3 and Table 9.1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Three types of receptors detect touch: Meissner corpuscles, Merkel disks, and free nerve endings.
