Skin mechanoreceptor fibers {A-beta fiber} can be large.
Meissner corpuscles are fast-adapting mechanoreceptors and have small receptive fields {fast-adapting fiber I} (FA I).
Pacinian corpuscles are fast-adapting mechanoreceptors and have large receptive fields {fast-adapting fiber II} (FA II).
Merkel receptors are slow-adapting mechanoreceptors and have small receptive fields {slow-adapting fiber I} (SA I).
Ruffini receptors are slow-adapting mechanoreceptors and have large receptive fields {slow-adapting fiber II} (SA II).
