Changes

They are a type of nerve ending in the [[skin]] that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have their highest sensitivity (lowest threshold) when sensing vibrations between 10 and 50 hertz. They are rapidly adaptive receptors. They are most concentrated in thick hairless [[skin]], especially at the finger pads.Meissner's corpuscles are the predominant sensory corpsucle in the [[foreskin]].<ref>{{REFjournal |last=García-Mesa |first= |init=Y |author-link= |last2=García-Piqueras |first2= |init2=J |author2-link= |last3=Cobo |first3= |init3=R |author3-link= |last4= |first4= |init4= |author4-link= |last5= |first5= |init5= |author5-link= |last6= |first6= |init6= |author6-link= |last7= |first7= |init7= |author7-link= |last8= |first8= |init8= |author8-link= |last9= |first9= |init9= |author9-link= |etal=yes |title=Sensory innervation of the human male prepuce: Meissner's corpuscles predominate |trans-title= |journal= J Anat |location= |date=2021-10 |volume=239 |issue=4 |article= |page= |pages=892-902 |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/joa.13481 |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=34120333 |pubmedCID=8450466 |DOI=10.1111/joa.13481 |accessdate=2025-03-05}}</ref>
