deep pressure receptors in skin is called
The sensory receptors in the skin, such as Meissner's and Pacinian corpuscles, as well as free nerve endings, are classified as general sensory receptors. In slides 21 and 35 of the skin, sensory nerve endings are inside Pacinian and Meissner's corpuscles. 2  Pacinian or lamellar corpuscles, which are encapsulated receptors for deep pressure, are found in the dense connective tissue of the dermis below the epithelium in slide 21.
