The two types of receptors in the skin that detect fine touch are the Merkel disks. Pacinian corpuscles. Meissner\'s corpuscles. Both a and b are correct. Both a and c are correct. Fingerprints are the result of epidermal ridges. projections from the hypodermis. epidermal papillae that create dermal ridges. dermal papillae that house sebaceous glands.

Solution

8. Nail matrix is the place where the dividing cells of the nail are located. These located deep behind the root of the nail.

9. Merkel disks and meissner\'s corpuscles are the receptors which detect the fine touch in the skin. Meissner\'s corpuscles are capillary loops that provide blood supply to the avascular epidermis.

10. Epidermal ridges form the fingerprints on our fingers. These are deepest layer and contains a single row of actively dividing cells.
