Answer:

Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent

Explanation:

Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).  

C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors  of low threshold and low conduction velocities.  

In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.  

The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of  

CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain

Hence, option E is correct

The stomach is a J-shaped organ which is a part of the digestive system. The digestive system on one end is attached to the oesophagus and on the end to the small intestine.

The pylorus structure of the stomach is composed of thick muscles which help to mix or agitating the food in the stomach and controls the movement of the food to the duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine. The movement is controlled by the ring of muscles in the pylorus called pyloric sphincter.
