Deep PRESSURE RECEPTORS (PACINIAN CORPUSCLES) in the SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER of the SKIN, 20X - stock photo

Deep PRESSURE SENSORY RECEPTORS (PACINIAN CORPUSCLES) in the SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER of the SKIN, 20X Pacinian Corpuscles are deep pressure receptors. Pacinian Corpuscles detect the sensation of Deep Pressure and Vibrations--also called PRESSORECEPTORS. They are located in the deepest layer of the skin (subcutaneous layer). They remind you of all the layers of an onion. A sensory neuron is associated with each pacinian corpuscle, and two of the corpuscles show a centrally located dendrite. This is Thick Skin in the palm of the hand.
