The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.

Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-

1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.

2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.

3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.

4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.

When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.

Are most mutations bad?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious. In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation's probability of being deleterious.
