Sensory cutaneous innervation refers to the nerve receptors in the skin. There are many nerve receptors that measure things like touch, pressure, vibration, and temperature in the skin. The most notable of these are the Merkle disks, Meissner corpusles, Pacianian corpusles, and the Ruffi end organs. Then there are also hair follicle receptors and Krause end bulbs. They all form a network that is sometimes referred to as a dermatome, which is an area of the skin that is innervated by a single nerve root on the spinal cord.
