Artwork of human skin showing Meissners corpuscle
Illustration of a section through human skin, showing the location of a Meissners corpuscle (centre right), an encapsulated nerve ending that transduces touch stimuli into electrical impulses. Meissners corpuscles are found in upper dermis: this one is located between two folds of the upper epidermis. The skin, particularly the dermis, contains other encapuslated and free nerve endings that accommodate such stimuli as pressure, heat, cold and pain. The dermis is also rich in blood vessels; here, arterial capillaries appear red, venous blue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate artwork of human skin, revealing the fascinating Meissners corpuscle. Positioned at the center-right, this encapsulated nerve ending serves as a remarkable transducer of touch stimuli into electrical impulses. Located within the upper dermis, this particular Meissners corpuscle is nestled between two folds of the upper epidermis. The skin depicted in this illustration not only houses Meissners corpuscles but also accommodates various other encapsulated and free nerve endings responsible for perceiving pressure, heat, cold, and pain. The dermis itself is a bustling hub of activity with its abundance of blood vessels on display. Arterial capillaries are vividly portrayed in shades of red while venous ones appear strikingly blue. This visually stunning image from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into the surface anatomy and complexity of our own skin. It highlights the vital role played by touch receptors like Meissners corpuscles in our sensory perception system. While appreciating this artwork, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the intricacies that lie beneath our outermost layer - an awe-inspiring reminder of how truly remarkable our human bodies are.
