Answer:
There are four primary tactile mechanoreceptors in human skin: Merkel's disks, Meissner's corpuscles, Ruffini endings, and Pacinian corpuscle; two are located toward the surface of the skin and two are located deeper.
Merkel discs and tactile corpuscles are found in the hairless skin layers like in lips and finger tips among the body parts.
Explanation:
Merkel cells was first discovered by Friedrich Merkel in 1875 and hence the cells were named after him. They are found in the epidermal layer of the cell.
They are found in the layer of the skin which helps in transmitting tactile signals. There are various types of tactile mechanoreceptors that work together during the process of touch. The Markel cells are encapsulated when touched.
