Correct answer: B. Pacinian Corpuscles
- A. Meisener Corpuscles
- B. Pacinian Corpuscles
- C. Red Blood Corpuscles
- D. Cholesterol
Explanation
A Pacinian corpuscle is a type of deep-pressure and vibration-sensitive nerve ending in the skin and other tissues that responds to changes in pressure. These large, encapsulated receptors have an onion-like structure and are found in the subcutaneous tissue of the hands and feet, as well as in other locations like joints and internal organs. They are essential for perceiving deep touch and fast vibrations.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
