Meissner's corpuscle
Merkel disk

QUESTION 8
Which of the following is a shared characteristic of both the Golgi tendon organ and annulospiral ending of the muscle spindle apparatus?
Spiralling around collagen or extrafusal muscle fibers brings about depolarization.
Muscle tension is indirectly transmitted as stretch to sensory receptors.
Free nerve endings detect the extracellular surface chemicals and convert the signal into sensory information.
External stretch, like the knee jerk reflex, can only stimulate the Golgi tendon organ.
Pacinian corpuscle
Ruffini ending
Meissner's corpuscle
Merkel disk
Explanation / Answer
1. Merkel nerve endings are mechanoreceptors, a type of sensory receptor, that are found in the basal epidermis and hair follicles. They are large, myelinated nerve endings.They provide information on pressure, position, and deep static touch features such as shapes and edges. So, the correct answer is option d.
