Abstract

Merkel cells were found in the dermis closely associated with non-myelinated axons in human adult hairy skin. They were enclosed in a neural corpuscle formed by Schwann cells, myelinated and non-myelinated axons, and surrounded by flattened laminar cells. The neural corpuscle was attached to the basal lamina of the hair external root sheath.
