Mechanoreceptors are part of the nervous system that detect changes in movement or pressure. They are a cutaneous receptor found in the dermis or epidermis. They involve special tiny organs. These include cutaneous mechanoreceptors (for light touch), Ruffini's end organ (sustained pressure), Meissner's corpuscle (changes in texture, slow vibrations), Pacinian corpuscle (deep pressure, fast vibrations) and Merkel's disc (sustained touch and pressure).
A carpuscle is an encapsulated sensory receptor found in the skin and other parts of the body that responds to touch and pressure stimuli. There are different types of carpuscles, such as Meissner's corpuscles for light touch and Pacinian corpuscles for deep pressure.
The deep sea has high water pressure due to the weight of the water above it. As you descend deeper, the pressure increases significantly. Conversely, the air pressure at deep sea depths is relatively constant and does not change as dramatically as water pressure.
Pacinian corpuscles are onion-shaped receptors that respond to deep pressure. They are found in the skin and are sensitive to mechanical stimuli. When pressure is applied to the skin, these receptors generate nerve impulses that travel to the brain, allowing us to perceive the sensation of deep pressure.
Pacinian corpuscles are the touch receptors that are sensitive to heavy pressure. They are located deep in the skin and respond to deep touch and high-frequency vibrations.

pacinian corpuscle
The skin is an example of a cutaneous membrane. It is composed of the epidermis and dermis layers, serving as a protective barrier for the body against external factors and helping regulate body temperature.
Cutaneous (originating in the skin of subcutaneous tissue, such as a shaving nick or paper cut), deep somatic pain (arising from bone, ligaments and tendons, nerves, or veins and arteries).

A carpuscle is an encapsulated sensory receptor found in the skin and other parts of the body that responds to touch and pressure stimuli. There are different types of carpuscles, such as Meissner's corpuscles for light touch and Pacinian corpuscles for deep pressure.
The burn needs to be deep enough to damage the hypo dermis and cutaneous layer.
The deep sea has high water pressure due to the weight of the water above it. As you descend deeper, the pressure increases significantly. Conversely, the air pressure at deep sea depths is relatively constant and does not change as dramatically as water pressure.
Fish adapt to the pressure.
When applying acute pressure with deep strokes, a hypertonic muscle will release.
A specialized nerve cell that is designed to respond to a specific sensory stimulus. Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical compression or stretching of the receptor or of tissues adjacent to the receptor. Thermoreceptors detect changes in temperature. Nociceptors detect damage in tissues. E electromagnetic receptor detect light on the cornea of the eye. Chemoreceptors detect taste in the mouth, smell in the nose, oxygen level in the arterial blood, osmolality of the body fluids, and carbon dioxide concentration.
