The nerves that are responsible for converting tactile stimuli into electrical signals that the brain can understand are called mechanoreceptors.

Those are sensory receptors that responds to mechanical stimuli and usually are located in the skin. There are four major types of mechanoreceptors:

• The tactile corpuscles-light touch,  

• The bulbous corpuscles- tension deep in the skin and fascia

• The Merkel nerve endings-sustained pressure

• The lamellar corpuscle-rapid vibrations.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Answer is E. Apply a thin layer of lotion on the skin from the neck to the soles of the feet.

Explanation:

Scabies are described or known to be small bugs that burrow and  found crawling under the skin. They lay eggs and continue to multiply under the skin.

They cause rash on the skin and severe or intense itching, which normally get worse in the night.

The lindane lotion , when applied on the skin, goes through or enters the skin, and kills the scabies and their eggs.

The scabies do not affect the face of adults and older children.
