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.

5. The burning of fossil fuels has increased the carbon dioxide content of the
posledela

One of the possible effects of increased carbon dioxide concentration on our planet would be a warmer climate.

<h3>Greenhouse effect</h3>

Carbon dioxide is one of the numerous greenhouse gases that exist in nature. The gases are responsible for the warming of the planet.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases form a blanket layer in the atmosphere and trap some of the reflected solar radiations from the sun, preventing them from escaping back to space.

The more the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more the solar radiation that is trapped and the warmer the earth gets.
