Encapsulation is the coating or engulfing of particles within a continuous matrix.
Fig-Encapsulation
The encapsulated mechanoreceptors that detect skin stretch and deformations within joints,they provide valuable feedback for gripping objects and controlling finger position and movement.Thus they also contribute to proprioception and kinesthesia.Ruffini endings also detect warmth.
