Sensory Receptors

Cells or structures specialized to detect changes in the environment and convey the information to the nervous system.

Ruffini End Organ

Receptor located deep in the dermis and responding to continuous touch or pressure. Named for Italian histologist Angelo Ruffini (1864–1929).
