The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The following respond to pressure," we need to identify which of the given options are associated with the sensation of pressure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - Meissner corpuscles - Pacinian corpuscles - Krause's end bulbs (also known as bulbs of Krause) - Ruffini endings (or organ of Ruffini) 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Meissner Corpuscles**: These are mechanoreceptors that primarily respond to light touch and low-frequency vibrations. They are not primarily responsible for sensing pressure. - **Pacinian Corpuscles**: These are specialized nerve endings that respond to deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations. They are indeed responsible for sensing pressure. - **Krause's End Bulbs**: These receptors are primarily involved in sensing cold temperatures and are not associated with pressure sensation. - **Ruffini Endings**: These receptors are sensitive to skin stretch and are involved in the perception of heat rather than pressure. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only option that responds to pressure is **Pacinian corpuscles**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Pacinian corpuscles**.
