Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Merkel cells are touch-sensitive cells that transduce touch via Piezo2 channels. The Merkel cell-neurite complex contains two sensory receptor cell types. Merkel cells and neurons together mediate different aspects of touch responses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin. There are six different types of mechanoreceptors detecting innocuous stimuli in the skin: those around hair follicles, Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner corpuscles, Merkel complexes, Ruffini corpuscles, and C-fiber LTM (low threshold mechanoreceptors).
