Tactile sensation is a combination of touch, pressure, stretch, and vibration. which of the following is most likely the receptor type that senses tactile stimulation?
o mechanoreceptors
o proprioceptors
o thermoreceptors
o nociceptors
o muscle spindle

Mechanoreceptor

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors are one of the several types of sensory receptors classified on the basis of the type of stimulus they detect. Mechanoreceptors are sensitive to mechanical stimuli such as the deformation, stretching, or bending of cells. Mechanoreceptors provide sensations of touch, pressure, and vibration. They are also involved in proprioception and in the reception of sensations of hearing and equilibrium.

Mechanoreceptors also monitor the stretching of blood vessels and internal organs. For instance, type I cutaneous mechanoreceptors are also called tactile discs. They are the free nerve endings that are in contact with tactile epithelial cells of the stratum basale and respond to continuous touch.
