Warmth sensation is sensed by
(C) Ruffini end organ # Ruffini's corpuscles are encapsulated sensory nerve endings located in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue and they mediate the sense of warmth.> Lamellar corpuscles or Pacinian corpuscles are one of the four major types of mechanoreceptor. They are nerve endings in the skin, responsible for sensitivity to vibration and pressure.> Vibrational role may be used to detect surface, e.g., rough vs. smooth.Meissner's corpuscles (or tactile corpuscles) are a type of mechanoreceptor.> They are a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have highest sensitivity (lowest threshold) when sensing vibrations lower than 50 Hertz.> They are rapidly adaptive receptors. The bulboid corpuscles (end-bulbs of Krause) are cutaneous receptors that have the ability to detect low-frequency vibration.
