Merkel cell - A specialized cell located in the dee- pest layer of the epidermis or the outermost layer of hair follicles that is in contact with sensory endings of Aβ fibers that are implicated in responding to gentle sustained compression of the skin or deflection of hairs.
Merkel endings or disks - Flattened terminals of some types of low-threshold Aβ fiber mechnore- ceptors that are juxtaposed to Merkel cells. Implicated as low-threshold, slowly adapting mechanoreceptors that have a prolonged response to sustained compression of the skin or deflection of hairs.
