What is commonly referred to as "touch" involves more than one kind of stimulus and more than one kind of receptor. The main sensory modalities can be described on the basis of how each stimulus is transduced and perceived. The lamellar corpuscles (also known as Pacinian corpuscles) in the skin and fascia detect rapid vibrations (of about 200-300 Hz). Some other organisms have receptors that humans lack, such as the heat sensors of snakes, the ultraviolet light sensors of bees, or magnetic receptors in migratory birds. Meissner's corpuscles respond to pressure and lower frequency vibrations, and Pacinian corpuscles detect transient pressure and higher frequency vibrations. 1 - Sound waves make the tympanic membrane vibrate.

Some hair receptors also detect skin deflection, and certain rapidly adapting hair receptors allow detection of stimuli that have not yet touched the skin. Stretch receptors are found at various sites in the digestive and urinary systems. -Pinna (auricle) Sensory receptors are classified into five categories: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, proprioceptors, pain receptors, and chemoreceptors. Deep pressure and vibration is transduced by lamellated (Pacinian) corpuscles, which are receptors with encapsulated endings found deep in the dermis, or subcutaneous tissue. The extraction of relevant features from the photoplethysmography signal for estimating certain physiological parameters is a challenging task. Unconscious proprioceptive signals run from the spinal cord to the cerebellum, the brain region that coordinates muscle contraction, rather than to the thalamus, like most other sensory information. 2.

Touch receptors are denser in glabrous skin (the type found on human fingertips and lips, for example), which is typically more sensitive and is thicker than hairy skin (4 to 5 mm versus 2 to 3 mm). Merkel's disk are slow-adapting, unencapsulated nerve endings that respond to light touch; they are present in the upper layers of skin that has hair or is glabrous. Neurons are not physically connected, but communicate via neurotransmitters secreted into synapses or gaps between communicating neurons. Cones: Middle ear 3. This information is detected by sensory receptors in our muscles, ligaments, and joints, and then processed through the central nervous system. Deeper in the dermis, near the base, are Ruffini endings, which are also known as bulbous corpuscles. Merkels disks are densely distributed in the fingertips and lips. d. Oval window detect deep pressure, vibration, position. Because of this, it will decrease the ability of other stimuli to elicit pain sensations through the activated nociceptor.
