<br />
A '''[[Tactile corpuscle]]''' (also known as a '''Meissner's corpuscle''' or '''Ruffini ending''') is a type of [[mechanoreceptor]], a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion. They are primarily located in the [[skin]] and are responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have the highest sensitivity when sensing vibrations between 10 and 50 Hertz.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
Tactile corpuscles are encapsulated unmyelinated nerve endings, which consist of flattened supportive cells arranged as horizontal lamellae surrounded by a connective tissue capsule. The corpuscle is between 30-140 μm in length and 40-60 μm in diameter. A single nerve fiber meanders between the lamellae and throughout the corpuscle.<br />
<br />
==Function==<br />
<br />
The primary function of the tactile corpuscle is to detect vibrations. When a pressure change is detected, the corpuscle reacts by creating an action potential that sends information to the [[central nervous system]] (CNS) about the pressure change. This allows the body to react to potentially harmful objects in the surrounding environment.<br />
<br />
==Clinical significance==<br />
<br />
Tactile corpuscles are responsible for the ability to feel light touch, and a decrease in number can lead to a decreased sensitivity to touch. This can occur in conditions such as [[diabetes]], where a high blood sugar level can damage the nerves, including those of the tactile corpuscles.<br />
