Mechanoreceptors (Touch and Pressure)are Not Evenly Spaced on Your Body

Mechanoreceptors (touch and pressure) are not evenly spaced on your body. What is an advantage of having mechanoreceptors located farther apart?

A) allows often used parts of the human body to feel pressure more severely than areas where mechanoreceptors are closer together
B) allows often used parts of the human body to feel pressure less severely than areas where mechanoreceptors are closer together
C) allows for greater dendrite regeneration after the body has experienced excessive pressure
D) allows for a thicker epidermis than in areas where mechanoreceptors are closer together
