Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanoreceptors. Mechanoreceptors detect stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and sound from the external and internal environments. They contain primary sensory neurons that respond to changes in mechanical displacement, usually in a localized region at the tip of a sensory dendrite.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lamellar corpuscles (also known as Pacinian corpuscles) in the skin and fascia detect rapid vibrations (of about 200–300 Hz). Cutaneous mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli that result from physical interaction, including pressure and vibration.
