MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pacinian corpuscles, also known as Vater-Pacini or lamellar corpuscles, are sensory receptors for vibration and deep pressure and are essential for proprioception [1]. They can be found throughout the whole body; however, it is the hands and feet where they occur most numerously and tightly grouped.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pacinian corpuscles located in interosseous membranes probably detect vibrations transmitted to the skeleton.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pacinian receptors detect pressure and vibration by being compressed, stimulating their internal dendrites. There are fewer Pacinian corpuscles and Ruffini endings in skin than there are Merkel’s disks and Meissner’s corpuscles.
