Cassandra R asked:
I learned about the mechanoreceptors in the skin, and so I know that meissner corpuscles feel rubbing, merkel disks feel pressure, ruffini endings feel stretching and pacinian corpuscles feel vibrations. But, in that context, how does the body sense an electric shock, like from static? Is there a specific receptor for that?
