Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -[8] Mechanoreceptors respond to physical changes including touch, pressure, vibration, and stretch.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tongue, lips, and fingertips are the most touch-sensitive parts of the body, the trunk the least. Each fingertip has more than 3, 000 touch receptors, many of which respond primarily to pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meissner’s corpuscles respond to touch and low-frequency vibration. Ruffini endings detect stretch, deformation within joints, and warmth. Pacinian corpuscles detect transient pressure and high-frequency vibration.
