The correct answer is C) Hair follicle receptors.
Explicación
## Step 1A second-degree burn is a type of burn that affects the outer layers of the skin, specifically the epidermis and the dermis. This type of burn is characterized by symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain.## Step 2The question asks us to identify which of the given options are damaged in a second-degree burn. The options are: A) Pacinian's corpuscles, B) Meissner's corpuscles, C) Hair follicle receptors, and D) Ruffini's endings.## Step 3We need to understand the role of each of these options in the skin. - Pacinian's corpuscles are responsible for sensitivity to vibration and pressure.- Meissner's corpuscles are responsible for sensitivity to light touch.- Hair follicle receptors are responsible for sensitivity to touch and temperature.- Ruffini's endings are responsible for sensitivity to skin stretch.## Step 4Given that a second-degree burn affects the epidermis and dermis, it would damage the structures within these layers. This includes hair follicles and their associated receptors.
