MEISSNER'S CORPUSCLE

Meissner's corpuscles are egg-shaped receptors consisting of a mass of intertwined fibres. They are located between the dermis and epidermis that inform the brain exactly where the skin is touched.
Meissner's corpuscles are concentrated in the fingertips and palms, lips, and tongue, nipples, penis and clitoris.
