    The following respond to pressure

    A)  Meissners corpuscle     

    B)  pacinian corpuscle

    C)  bulbs of Krause               

    D)  organ of Ruffini

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    On the basis of type of stimulus receptors are mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors. Thermoreceptors, photoreceptors and electroreceptors pressure receptor is a type of mechanoreceptor, which is sensitive to deep pressure, e.g., pacinian corpuscles respond to pressure. Meissnar corpuscles (dermis) is associated with tangoreceptor (a type of mechanoreceptor). Thermoreceptors   (sensitive to change in temperature) are of two types; caloreceptors, i.e., organ of Ruffini and frigidoreceptors (sensitive to cold) i.e., Bulb of Krause.
