What is Meissner&;s corpuscle are for and explain in detail?
Meissner's corpuscle is a type of tactile receptor. A touch receptor with great sensitivity is the Meissner's corpuscle, an elongated encapsulated nerve ending of a large (type Ab) myelinated sensory nerve fiber. Inside the capsulation are many branching terminal nerve filaments. These corpuscles are present in the nonhairy pas of the skin and are paicularly abundant in the fingeips, lips, and other areas of the skin where one's ability to discern spatial locations of touch sensations is highly developed. Meissner corpuscles adapt in a fraction of a second after they are stimulated, which means that they are paicularly sensitive to movement of objects over the surface of the skin, as well as to low-frequency vibration.Ref: Guyton and Hall textbook of medical physiology, 13th edition.
