The Pacinian corpuscle is located in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It is a type of mechanoreceptor found in various tissues, including the skin and joints, and is responsible for detecting deep pressure and vibration. These sensory receptors transmit signals to the central nervous system (CNS) for processing but are themselves part of the PNS.
