Tactile and lamellated corpuscles are types of

A) photoreceptors.
B) thermoreceptors.
C) chemoreceptors.
D) nociceptors.
E) mechanoreceptors.

Lamellated Corpuscles

Specialized nerve endings found in the skin that are sensitive to pressure and vibration.

Mechanoreceptors

are sensory receptors that respond to mechanical pressure or distortion, playing key roles in touch, hearing, and balance.

Tactile Corpuscles

Specialized nerve endings found in the dermal papillae of the skin, sensitive to light touch and texture changes.

  • Identify various types of sensory receptors based on their stimuli and functions.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Both tactile and lamellated corpuscles are types of mechanoreceptors, which respond to mechanical forces such as pressure and vibration. They are located in the skin and help us to sense touch, texture, and pressure. Photoreceptors are responsible for detecting light, thermoreceptors respond to temperature changes, chemoreceptors detect chemicals, and nociceptors detect pain.
