Select all that apply: Indicate the receptors that sense vibration.
Select all that apply: Indicate the receptors that sense vibration.1) Type II cutaneous mechanoreceptor (Ruffini corpuscle)
2) Lamellated Corpuscle
3) Type I cutaneous mechanoreceptor (Tactile Disc)
4) Corpuscle of Touch (Meissner Touch)
5) Free Nerve Endings
6) Root Hair Plexus
Final answer:Receptors that sense vibration include the 2) Lamellated Corpuscle (Pacinian corpuscle) and the 4) Corpuscle of Touch (Meissner Touch). Other receptors mentioned like Merkel cells, Ruffini corpuscles, free nerve endings, and the Root Hair Plexus serve different sensory functions, such as detecting light touch, stretch, pain, temperature, and hair movement.Explanation:To understand which receptors sense vibration, let's consider their functions. The tactile receptors that sense vibration are:Lamellated Corpuscle (Pacinian corpuscle)Corpuscle of Touch (Meissner's corpuscle)These receptors are specialized to detect different types of tactile stimuli. The Lamellated Corpuscles are well suited for sensing deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations. They are found deeper in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and respond to rapid vibrations that often accompany deep pressure. On the other hand, Merkel cells (Type I cutaneous mechanoreceptor) and Ruffini corpuscles (Type II cutaneous mechanoreceptor) do not primarily sense vibration; they are more associated with the sense of light touch and detecting skin stretch, respectively. Similarly, free nerve endings are generally responsive to pain and temperature, not vibration. Lastly, the Root Hair Plexus detects the movement of hair on the skin's surface, which is different from the vib-ra-tory sense needed for detecting texture through finger movements....
