# About Tactile Receptors Tactile receptors are specialized structures in the skin that detect various stimuli like pressure and pain. They are also known as cutaneous receptors. These receptors convert external stimuli into nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain. * **Mechanoreceptors:** These receptors respond to mechanical stimuli like pressure, vibration, and texture. * **Thermoreceptors:** These receptors detect changes in temperature. * **Nociceptors:** These receptors respond to harmful stimuli, which the brain interprets as pain. They play a crucial role in our perception of the environment and our surroundings.
