MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Meissner’s corpuscles are the most common mechanoreceptors of “glabrous” (smooth, hairless) skin (the fingertips, for instance), and their afferent fibers account for about 40% of the sensory innervation of the human hand.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tactile corpuscles (also known as Meissner corpuscles) respond to light touch and adapt rapidly to changes in texture (vibrations around 50 Hz).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
