A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion. Normally there are four main types in glabrous skin: Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's discs, and Ruffini endings.
Simple receptors. Consist of one or more fiber terminals of sensory neurons enclosed in a connective tissue capsule. Virtually all are mechanoreceptors. Examples: Meissner's corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, Ruffini's corpuscles, Muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, Joint kinesthetic receptors. A type of simple encapsulated receptor. Location types: Proprioceptors that monitor stretch in the articular capsules the enclose synovial joints. Stimulation type: Mechanoreceptors and nociceptors. Found in joint capsules and synovlia joints.
