Meissner and Pacinian corpuscies provide sensation about _ and _-stimulus respectively.

Answer: touch and pressure
Explanation

Meissner corpuscles provide sensation about touch, while Pacinian corpuscles provide sensation about pressure.


Meissner corpuscles are found in the dermal papillae of the skin and are sensitive to light touch and vibration.

They are particularly concentrated in areas such as the fingertips, lips, and palms.


Pacinian corpuscles are found deeper in the skin and are sensitive to deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.

They are responsible for detecting mechanical stimuli such as pressure and vibration.
