    specialized skin receptors detecting pressure, vibration, and touch

    Cutaneous mechanoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors located in the skin that detect mechanical changes such as pressure, vibration, and touch. They play a crucial role in our sense of touch by converting physical stimuli into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, allowing us to perceive different textures and sensations.
