1. pacinian corpuscles

Hello Student
Correct answer is 2. Meissner’s Corpuscles
Meissner’s Corpuscles are a type of mechanoreceptors. They are stimulated by mechanical deformation like touch and pressure and are located in the skin.

The correct answer is (2) meissner’s corpuscles

The Tactile Corpuscles of Meissner are grouped on the skin of the fingertips, lips, and orifices of the body and the nipples. Only stimulated when touched, meissner corpuscles tells the brain the shape and feel of an object in the hand, or the touch of a kiss. They adjust constantly to the environment, which is why the brain eventually ignores clothing that you are wearing.
