Solution

The Pacinian corpuscle and the free nerve ending are both able to detect pressure. The Pacinian corpuscle is a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to vibration and pressure. Free nerve endings are also present in the skin and can respond to several different stimuli, including pressure.

On the other hand, olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity and are responsible for detecting smells, not pressure.

So, the answer to your question is: the Pacinian corpuscle and the free nerve ending, and also the free nerve ending alone, are able to detect pressure.
