Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Which of the following statements about mechanoreceptors is false? a. Pacini corpuscles are found in both glabrous and hairy skin. Merkel’s disks are abundant on the fingertips and lips. Ruffini endings are encapsulated mechanoreceptors. Meissner’s corpuscles extend into the lower dermis. Meissner’s corpuscles, (shown in Figure 36.6) also known as tactile corpuscles, are found in the upper dermis, but they project into the epidermis. They, too, are found primarily in the glabrous skin on the fingertips and eyelids. They respond to fine touch and pressure, but they also respond to low-frequency vibration or flutter. They are rapidly adapting, fluid-filled, encapsulated neurons with small, well-defined borders and are responsive to fine details. Like Merkel’s disks, Meissner’s corpuscles are not as plentiful in the palms as they are in the fingertips.
