Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pacinian corpuscles are located deeper in the skin and react to higher levels of mechanical pressure. Merkel's disks and Meissner's corpuscles are located closer to the skin's surface and are more sensitive to light touch. Ruffini corpuscles are located deeper in the skin but are more sensitive to stretching and twisting of the skin, rather than pressure.
