A sensory nerve ending in the skin which is sensitive to touch and vibrations.<\/p>\n

Small, bulblike sensory organs attached to the end of nerve fibers in subcutaneous and submucous areas, especially in the palms, soles, joints, and genitals.<\/p>\n

\n

Sensory receptors for touch in the skin, consisting of sensory nerve endings surrounded by capsules of membrane in onion-skin layers. They are especially sensitive to changes in pressure and so detect vibration particularly well.<\/p>\n

\n

Pacinian corpuscles, or lamellated corpuscles, are minute bulbs at the ends of the nerves scattered through the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and forming one of the end-organs for sensation.<\/p>\n

\n

An encapsulated nerve ending found in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and other connective tissue membranes; it is a sensory receptor for pressure.<\/p>\n

\n

Encapsulated sensory nerve endings found in subcutaneous tissue and many other parts of the body (pancreas, penis, clitoris, nipple). These corpuscles are sensitive to deep or heavy pressure.<\/p>\n

Receptors that respond to touch, vibration, or other sensory stimuli.<\/p>\n
