Answer:

Pressure sensing cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Merkel cells provide information on pressure, position and deep static touch features such as shapes and edges. They are tactile sensors on the business of mechanotransduction. They encode surface features of touched objects into perception, but also have to do with proprioception.
