Solution
The correct option is D Both A and B
- A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion.
- Merkel nerve endings are mechanoreceptors that are found in the basal epidermis and hair follicles.
- Merkel nerve endings provide information on mechanical pressure, position, and deep static touch features, such as shapes and edges.
- Hence Merkel nerve endings are mechanoreceptors that can be generally traced in Basal epidermis and Hair follicle.
- So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
