Where are Merkel's cells located?

  1. In the dermis

  2. In the epidermis

  3. In the subcutaneous layer

  4. In the reticular layer

The correct answer is: In the epidermis

Merkel's cells are located in the epidermis. These cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis, specifically in the stratum basale or basal layer. Merkel's cells are responsible for the sensation of touch and are closely associated with nerve endings. Option A (In the dermis), Option C (In the subcutaneous layer), and Option D (In the reticular layer) are all incorrect as Merkel's cells are specifically located in the epidermis.
