Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure receptors are located deepest in the skin. These receptors, known as mechanoreceptors, are specifically designed to detect mechanical pressure or distortions within the skin. They are situated deeper compared to other sensory receptors like those for hot, cold, pain, and light touch, which are more superficially located to quickly respond to external stimuli.
