Question

Are found only in _____ skin, and detect skin deflection.

Answer 1

Answer:

Merkel’s disks: glabrous

Explanation:

Merkel's disks are nerve endings consisting of axonal branches that end in flat expansions and are implicated in the sensation of touch and pressure. Each of the nerve endings is associated with specialized epithelial cells. They can be found in the basal layers of the epidermis just above the basement membrane surface and are associated with rounded elevations of thick epidermis in the hairy skin. In addition, it is important to note that Merkel Disks are found only in glabrous skin and detect skin deflection.
