Answer:
C) Pacinian corpuscles
Explanation:
These are for sensing deep pressure, NOT light touch. Tactile (meissner) discs definitely detect gentle touch as they are close to the skin surface. This is NOT a reference to discs in your back!
Pacinian corpuscles are not involved at the time of the feeling of a gentle caress on the arm.
• The Meissner's corpuscles react to low-frequency vibration and touch. They are the kind of nerve ending in the skin, which is accountable for sensitivity to light touch.
• The tactile discs are also sensitive to light touch.
• The sensory nerve fibers that wrap around each of the hair bulb, that is, at the base of the hair follicle are known as hair follicle receptors, they function as a sensitive touch receptor.
• The large encapsulated terminals situated in the subcutaneous tissue, deeply in mesenteries and interosseous membranes of the gut are known as the Pacinian corpuscles. They do not respond to gentle or light sensitive touch, they detect high frequency vibration and transient pressure.
Thus, the correct answer is option C, that is, Pacinian corpuscles.
