Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tactile corpuscles, or Meissner's corpuscles, are specialized nerve endings in the skin that are particularly sensitive to light touch and pressure. They are most commonly found in areas of the skin that are not hairy, such as the fingertips and palms, allowing for the detection of fine textures and gentle movements.
