Touch sensor. Light micrograph of a section through a pacinian corpuscle. This receptor,found in the skin,some organs (for example the pancreas) and near joints,is sensitive to touch and vibration. It consists of many concentric layers of connective tissue,separated by a gelatinous substance,and a central fluid-filled cavity containing a single nerve ending. Touch and vibration are detected as deformations in the shape of the corpuscle | |
