Pacinian corpuscles respond best to ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pacinian corpuscles are sensory receptors that detect rapid mechanical pressure, especially vibrations. Their structure allows them to respond to sudden changes in pressure, making them well-suited to detect vibrations and changes in texture. They are found in the deeper layers of the skin, as well as in other tissues such as the joints and organs. Therefore, the best choice for Pacinian corpuscles would be rapid mechanical pressure (Choice A).
