Detailed explanation-1: -The skin possesses many sensory receptors in the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, which allows for discrimination of touch such as pressure differences (light vs. deep).
Detailed explanation-2: -Papillary dermis: The papillary layer is the top layer of your dermis. It’s much thinner than the reticular dermis. It consists of collagen fibers, fibroblast cells, fat cells, blood vessels (capillary loops), nerve fibers, touch receptors (Meissner corpuscles) and cells that fight bacteria (phagocytes).
Detailed explanation-3: -We can feel different modalities of touch because of the presence of specialized sensory receptors, called mechanoreceptors, located in the skin. The Pacinian corpuscles are located deep in the dermis of the skin and are responsible for perception of vibration.
