Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Pacinian Corpuscles
Concept:

Mechanoreceptors in the skin are layered based on their function; superficial receptors detect light touch, while deeper receptors detect heavy force.

Solution:

  • Pacinian corpuscles are large, onion-like encapsulated nerve endings located deep within the dermis and hypodermis. They are specifically tuned to detect deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Meissner Corpuscles: Located near the skin surface to detect light touch and texture.


  • Red blood Corpuscles: Erythrocytes (carry oxygen), not nervous tissue.


  • Cholesterol: A structural lipid molecule.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
