Receptor seen in this region is: (A) Merkel cell, (B) Meissner's corpuscle, (C) Paccinian corpuscle, (D) Ruffini's receptor
Answer is B. Receptor Location Function 1. Meissner Dermo-epidermal junction Rapidly adapting two- point discrimination 2. Pacinian corpuscle Deeper dermis Rapidly adapting pressure & vibration 3. Ruffini Deeper dermis Slowly adapting 4. Merkel disc Basal layer of epidermis Slowly adapting light touch sensation. Reading braille - Meisner corpuscle >> Merkel disc Since the location is DE JUNCTION so the answer is Meissner corpuscle
