Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lamellated (Pacinian) corpuscles are sensory receptors in the skin that detect vibrations and pressure. As Thomas is deaf, he cannot hear the music but he can feel the vibrations through these receptors. Tactile (Meissner) corpuscles and Merkel cells detect light touch and texture, while dermal papillae are responsible for fingerprints.
