Where are Merkel cells found?

In thick skin without hair
In all types of skin
In hair follicles
Throughout the body's surface

The correct answer is: In thick skin without hair

Merkel cells are sensory cells that are found on the bottom layer of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of our skin. They are mostly concentrated in the areas of our skin that do not have hair, such as the palms of our hand and the soles of our feet. They can also be found in small numbers on areas of skin with hair, such as the face and neck, but they are more commonly found in non-hairy areas. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the location of Merkel cells.
