Figure 9.

Schematic of the sagittal (A) and plantar (B) view of a mouse hind paw. Regions of the sagittal view are labeled; D, heel hair follicles; E, glabrous plantar metatarsal skin; F, glabrous footpad skin; G, ridged glabrous plantar skin/plantar hair follicles; H, glabrous plantar digit skin; and I, digit hair follicles; and the footpads and toes are numbered in the plantar view. Blue circles indicate Merkel cell locations, red circles indicate the footpads and toe tips with the largest densities of Meissner-like corpuscles, and red/blue circles indicate locations for both Meissner-like corpuscles and Merkel cells (A) or the footpads with the largest densities of both Meissner-like corpuscles and Merkel cells (B).
