Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Free nerve endings in the skin can detect changes in temperature, both hot and cold. They help us sense whether something is too hot or cold to touch, and can trigger pain or withdrawal reflexes. Light touch and vibration are usually detected by specialized receptors such as Meissner's corpuscles or Pacinian corpuscles, while movement of hair follicles is detected by hair receptors called Merkel cells.
