Detailed explanation-1: -Meissner corpuscles are ellipsoid mechanoreceptors located superficially within the dermal papillae at a depth of approximately 150 micrometers.
Detailed explanation-2: -It contains loose connective tissue within the bundles of collagenous fibers. It also contains loose capillaries, that nourish the epidermis. In some areas, papillary layer has special nerve endings that serve as touch receptors (Meissner’s corpuscles).
Detailed explanation-3: -Papillary dermis: The papillary layer is the top layer of your dermis. It’s much thinner than the reticular dermis. It consists of collagen fibers, fibroblast cells, fat cells, blood vessels (capillary loops), nerve fibers, touch receptors (Meissner corpuscles) and cells that fight bacteria (phagocytes).
