The Merkel cell in oral human mucosa

G. J. Fortman and R. K. Winkelmann

A study of the mucosal Merkel cells from 10 patients showed that the cell contained an intranuclear rodlet, clear cell qualities, fine desmosomes, characteristic membrane-bound Merkel granules, and cellular "horns" and had a close relationship to terminal axons. The Merkel cell is an intraepithelial cell with features of neurons and of amine-storage cells.
