Answer:
Gigantopithecus could stand on its hind legs, and the known jaws of Gigantopithecus widen towards the rear and proposed that this widening occurred to allow for the housing of a trachea (the ‘windpipe’ that connects the lungs to the mouth opening) when the skull was placed directly in top of the head like a human and not carried forward like a great ape.
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.
