The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Sensation of heat is picked up by," we need to analyze the given options and identify which receptor is responsible for detecting heat. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Meissner's corpuscles - B) Organs of Golgi-Mazzoni - C) Pacinian corpuscles - D) Ruffini corpuscles 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **A) Meissner's corpuscles**: These are mechanoreceptors primarily responsible for detecting light touch and texture. They are not involved in the sensation of heat. - **B) Organs of Golgi-Mazzoni**: These are proprioceptors that detect muscle tension and are not related to the sensation of heat. - **C) Pacinian corpuscles**: These receptors are sensitive to deep pressure and vibration. They do not detect heat. - **D) Ruffini corpuscles**: These receptors are sensitive to sustained pressure and stretch, and they also play a role in detecting temperature changes, including heat. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the correct answer is **D) Ruffini corpuscles**, as they are responsible for detecting the sensation of heat. ### Final Answer: The sensation of heat is picked up by **Ruffini corpuscles**. ---
