Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bulbous corpuscle is not an option given, but Pacinian corpuscle is a type of mechanoreceptor found in the skin that responds to deep pressure and vibration. Ruffini endings, also known as bulbous corpuscles, are another type of mechanoreceptor found in the skin that respond to stretching and skin deformation. Meissner corpuscles are also mechanoreceptors found in the skin that respond to light touch and flutter. Therefore, the best match for bulbous corpuscle is Ruffini endings (Choice B).
