Scope note: Mecanorreceptores de adaptación rápida que se encuentran debajo del tejido subcutáneo de la piel con y sin pelos. Los corpúsculos de Paccini contienen una fibra nerviosa aferente rodeada por una cápsula con múltiples capas concéntricas. Tienen grandes campos receptores y son más sensibles ante los estímulos de alta frecuencia, tales como la vibración.

Scope note: Rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors found in subcutaneous tissue beneath both hairy and glabrous skin. Pacinian corpuscles contain an afferent nerve fiber surrounded by a capsule with multiple concentric layers. They have large receptive fields and are most sensitive to high-frequency stimuli, such as vibration.
